Corona: Slight relaxation also in sport | NDR.de

Status: 04.03.2021 00:02

After months of stagnation, German amateur and popular sport in the coronavirus pandemic has the opportunity to gradually relax.

Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the Prime Ministers of the federal states agreed on this in Berlin on Wednesday, according to their decision paper.

Depending on regional incidence values, the federal states can provide for non-contact outdoor sports in small groups with a maximum of ten people as a first measure. This applies if a stable seven-day incidence of less than 50 new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants is reached in a country or region.

Hobby sport slowed down for months

If there is a stable or falling seven-day incidence of less than 100, “individual sports alone or in pairs and outdoor sports in groups of up to ten children up to 14 years old” can be made possible. In a further step, after 14 days, if the incidence is stable below 35, there can be contact-free indoor or outdoor contact sports.

For months, the lockdown athlete had slowed down in the hobby and performance area. Since the beginning of November it is no longer allowed to play, not even to train.

Relaxation of the ban on spectators in the Bundesliga and other professional sports are not mentioned in the decision.
