Due to concerns about the Omikron variant, the corona regulations in the southwest will be tightened after Christmas.
To this end, the state government adjusted the Corona regulation in Stuttgart on Thursday.
Stuttgart - The contact restrictions for vaccinated and convalescents will be extended from this Monday (December 27), as the State Ministry announced.
It is also recommended to wear an FFP2 mask or a comparable mask indoors.
And now there is also a curfew in the catering trade.

The curfew in restaurants starts at 10.30 p.m. and runs until 5 a.m.
On New Year's Eve, curfew does not begin until 1:00 a.m.
The new regulation will initially apply until January 24th.
Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) had already announced on Wednesday that the stricter rules for private meetings in the southwest, decided by the federal and state governments, should come into force immediately after the holidays.
On Tuesday, the federal and state governments agreed, among other things, on contact restrictions from December 28th at the latest in order to slow down the spread of the Omikron variant.
