From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m .: curfew in Hessian corona hotspots
Accordingly, the Curfews in Corona-Hotspots like Offenbach* apply from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. They will be introduced on Friday (December 11th, 2020) and will initially remain in force until January 10th. Also drinking from alcohol in public and the sale of alcoholic beverages “to go” is then prohibited. This ban will then no longer only apply at night, as before, but around the clock. The Curfew* and the Alcohol ban come into force wherever the 7-day incidence per 100,000 population exceeds 200.
Since the incidence values in the regions sometimes vary from day to day and can exceed and fall below the threshold value within 48 hours, the municipalities only have to take action if the 7 day incidence stabilized over 200 in three consecutive days. The State Secretary of the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs, Anne Janz explains. The additional ones should be repealed Corona measures not again until the incidence is below 200 for five consecutive days.
