7-day incidence has been stable for five consecutive working days below the threshold of 100 new cases per 100,000 population
District of Kleve – On Friday, May 14th, for the fifth working day in a row, the Kleve district has a corona 7-day incidence of less than 100 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants. This is relevant for the relaxation of the “Corona emergency brake”, which is now taking effect.
Important: The state of North Rhine-Westphalia determines whether this limit has been permanently undershot by including the Kleve district in a general decree. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia publishes the valid general decrees online:

The “Corona emergency brake” approved by the federal government only takes effect from an incidence of over 100. From Sunday, May 16, only the regulations of the Corona Protection Ordinance issued by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia apply. To this end, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia has issued a new version.
Associated with this are some changes in corona protective measures for the citizens of the district. In particular, the opening of outdoor restaurants and cultural institutions is new. “I am pleased that due to the favorable development of new infections in the Kleve district, the outdoor catering and cultural facilities are allowed to reopen. At the same time, I ask everyone to continue to observe the distance and hygiene rules so that this success is not frivolously gambled away, “says District Administrator Silke Gorißen.
The following list only gives examples of some areas for which changes have been made. The state provides the full version of the Corona Protection Ordinance NRW online: https://www.mags.nrw/sites/default/files/asset/document/210512_coronaschvo_ab_15.05.2021_lesefassung.pdf
