“This is not the time to celebrate friendly parties and evenings with a lot of people,” said the foreign minister. Olaf Scholz after speaking with the country’s regional leaders.
As of December 28, major events “will no longer be held with spectators, this applies in particular to football matches,” he added. Nightclubs will also be closed.
The measure should remain in effect for the resumption of the Bundesliga, on January 7 after the winter break in order to “stop the spread of the virus,” declared the foreign minister at the end of a crisis meeting with representatives of the regions.
The Instituto Robert Koch of Germany for infectious diseases had recommended shortly before the announcement, that they be imposed “maximum social restrictions”, starting now, to fight a looming tide of infections caused by the Omicron variant.
Among the other recommendations of the agency, which apply until mid-January 2022, are to restrict travel to what is absolutely necessary, speed up the vaccination campaign and ensure the availability of sufficient free coronavirus tests.
The RKI on Tuesday reported 23,428 new infections and 462 deaths, bringing Germany’s total to 108,814 deaths.
