Berlin. New rules apply to children and teenagers. If under 14-year-olds were previously exempt from the contact restrictions, this no longer applies since the decision of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the 16 prime ministers on January 5th. Together they have agreed to extend the corona measures.



The lockdown now lasts until the end of January. The stricter provisions decided by the federal and state governments will apply from January 11th. And under 14-year-olds are no longer just appendages of their parents when counting contacts, but count as a full person.

Corona measures: one household plus one person – what does that mean?

Since the last resolution on December 16, the following has applied: “Private gatherings with friends, relatives and acquaintances are still to be limited to your own household and to another household, but in any case to a maximum of 5 people. Children up to 14 years of age are exempt from this. ”This meant that meetings with five adults from two households were previously allowed, the children were not included. These exceptions no longer apply.

Coronavirus – The most important news at a glance



Contact restrictions: how can you meet in everyday life?

Specifically, this means that a mother and her child may meet the son’s friend on the playground, but the mother belonging to them may not be there. The couple are also no longer allowed to visit their parents-in-law, unless the father-in-law or mother-in-law lives alone. Meetings of several children are also not allowed to take place in the next few weeks.

Exempt from the private contact restrictions for under 14-year-olds are, of course, meetings in the emergency care of daycare centers and schools. In the paper from the federal and state governments of January 5, it says: The operation of childcare facilities and schools is of the highest importance for the education of children and for the compatibility of family and work of the parents.

“Closed schools, suspended attendance or distance teaching in schools over a longer period of time are not without negative consequences for the educational biographies and the social participation of children and young people.” Children and young people should stay at home, learn and be looked after, but exceptions are possible where schools and daycare centers still offer emergency operations.

On January 25, the federal and state governments want to meet again and adopt the regulations for the period from February 1st. (diz)
