The latest corona rules only apply for a week, then the next ones are coming: In view of the exploding number of corona infections and the stress in clinics, Brandenburg is pulling the emergency brake.
Potsdam - Brandenburg wants to drastically tighten the corona rules, especially for unvaccinated people.
The red-black-green state government is planning to expand the 2G rule to retail, for example with the exception of supermarkets, pharmacies, drug stores and banks.
The government spokesman Florian Engels announced on Monday in Potsdam.
The background to this is the increasing number of infections and the worsening situation in hospitals, especially in the south.
Access only for vaccinated and convalescents, which already exists in restaurants, theaters, cinemas and concert halls, is to be expanded to include hairdressers, sports facilities, museums and zoos.
Christmas markets should be closed or not open at all.

In addition, contact restrictions come back - but for the unvaccinated: In public, only up to five people should be able to meet, vaccinated and convalescent are not counted, said the State Chancellery.
This upper limit should also apply to private celebrations at home or in restaurants - also for unvaccinated people.
However, the cabinet will not formally make a decision until Tuesday.
In addition, there are regional tightening: If the seven-day incidence in a district or a district-free city is over 1000 with a nationwide occupancy of the intensive care beds of over ten percent, an exit restriction at night for unvaccinated persons from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. is planned.
There was such a restriction, but for everyone.
It was still unclear whether there would be new rules in schools.
