The federal and state governments have extended the lockdown until April 18. In view of the drastically increasing number of corona infections, the federal and state governments are sending all of Germany into the sharpest lockdown since the beginning of the corona pandemic a year ago. Public, private and economic life is to be largely shut down over Easter

Inland tourism will not be possible during the Easter holidays either. Hotels and other accommodation providers should remain closed to vacationers. This point caused a lot of trouble in the deliberations. Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt and Rhineland-Palatinate insisted that their citizens should be able to vacation in holiday flats, holiday homes, apartments, caravans and mobile homes, provided they have their own sanitary facilities and organize their own meals can be.

After a long break on Monday evening, the meeting went on late into the night. Bremen’s Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD) canceled an originally planned press conference late in the evening.

Vacation rental owners were ready for Easter guests

Landlords of holiday apartments and operators of campsites would rather offer “low-contact vacation” in northern Germany today rather than tomorrow. “Our plans are in progress, everything is geared towards a start on March 29th, and we already have a lot of bookings,” said Ingrid Funke from the Dangast spa administration in the Friesland district before the results of the consultation were announced. The municipal campsite is one of the largest on the coast. The hotel and catering industry is disappointed and feels once again forgotten in the discussion about possible easing.

If the green light for low-contact vacations is given, the housing and vacation agency WFV, which has 700 apartments on the islands of Borkum, Juist and Wangerooge, is expecting a real rush. “Half of the apartments are already booked,” said managing director Michel Baumeister, “the other half should be taken within a very short time, as soon as the green light for ‘low-contact vacation’ is given.” According to Baumeister, all residential units have been prepared, “the beds are made , the rooms cleaned, the balcony chairs are in front of the door ”.

The number of infections is increasing in Mallorca

Matthias Stelljes’ calendar is also full of reservations. The man from Bremen owns three holiday apartments on Spiekeroog. “We have been fully booked since February,” said Stelljes, “theoretically”. So far he has practically had to cancel all bookings. For Stelljes it is high time for a “low-contact vacation”. “Apartments are ideal,” he says, “as a family you are alone, almost like being in quarantine. There is space and plenty of fresh air on the islands and on the coast. You only meet other people in the supermarket; it wouldn’t be any different at home. “

On the Balearic island of Mallorca, which was removed from the list of risk areas by the federal government because of the sharp drop in incidence values, the number of infections is increasing. Therefore, the regional government wants to close the recently reopened interiors of cafés, restaurants and pubs. The measure should be implemented this week, wrote the “Mallorca-Zeitung”.

The lifted travel warning had caused a boom in bookings because there was no test obligation and quarantine for returnees. According to information from government circles, German airlines want to test Mallorca returnees for Corona themselves. Locations are searched for. It should go to up to 40,000 returnees.

Advice on emergency brake in Bremerhaven

The incidence value in Bremerhaven has been well over 160 for several days. Nevertheless, the magistrate decided last week not to pull the emergency brake and to leave the zoo, retail and museums open. The rationale was that the easing was not responsible for the increase. This justification still applies. Bremerhaven’s press spokesman Volker Heigenmooser said that the next steps will be discussed at the Senate meeting this Tuesday and at the meeting of the magistrate in the “light of the decisions of the Prime Minister’s Conference”. Mayor Melf Grantz (SPD) interrupts his vacation for the Senate meeting. The incidence value in Bremerhaven fell slightly on Monday to 174.2.

In Lower Saxony, in a third of the 45 districts and large cities, the incidence agreed for an emergency brake on the easing has risen to more than 100.
