No party time
Forget the pandemic for an evening, drink, party, pop, as if there were no tomorrow – who wouldn’t want that? After a tough Corona year, this suggestion on New Year’s Eve is only too understandable.
But the virus does not give you a break to take a breath. Each contact can be one too many, the Omikron variant is already filling hospitals in other countries. To relax the strict rules in this situation would send the wrong signal. Anyone who has ever visited a Covid station knows why.
No question, the brought forward curfew was announced too briefly and puts innkeepers in distress. But unfortunately the measure is necessary. It takes responsibility now – and no parties, either in the pub or at home.
Unworldly
Anyone looking forward to dining out in a restaurant on New Year’s Eve must present their 2G proof. Bringing the curfew does not change that. In a eatery, the current exit restrictions are – or should at least – be checked. The message of the actionist move forward was: Don’t go out on New Year’s Eve. Then it should have been called that. They wanted to forbid partying until the early hours of the morning and ruined business for the entire evening.
So the hoteliers and restaurateurs were left with a completely unpractical rule: Should they send overnight guests to their rooms with a piccolo bottle at ten?
