Bremen. Bremen’s economy and the churches welcome the decision of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) to withdraw the Easter rest period and to stick to the traditional regulation with shops and restaurants open on Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday – as part of the Corona Ordinance. It was “the right decision to withdraw the proposal for an extended lockdown,” said Janina Marahrens-Hashagen, President of the Chamber of Commerce. From their point of view, the effect would have been minor and the economic damage enormous. Bernd Kuschnerus, Secretary of the Bremen Evangelical Church (BEK) said that the Chancellor’s decision to admit the planning error deserves great respect.

Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD) described the resolutions of the federal-state conference as “necessary”. In this respect, he regrets “that the federal government does not see itself in a position to clarify bindingly the questions connected with the extended Easter rest.” “The goal remains to reduce social contacts and mobility, especially trips abroad, to what is necessary in the next few weeks and especially over the holidays.”

Merkel had announced the withdrawal of the tightening that the Prime Minister had decided with the Chancellery at a conference with the country leaders that was scheduled at short notice. The reason: Many legal questions, including wage payments, could not have been resolved in the short time. The citizens asked the Chancellor for forgiveness for the uncertainty that had arisen. “I deeply regret that,” said Merkel. Her party colleague Andreas Mattfeldt, member of the Bundestag for Osterholz / Verden, joined voices in the opposition who questioned the Bund-Länder summit after the Chancellor’s backward role as a decision-making body. “The decision was made on the basis of instinct, then such mistakes happen,” said Mattfeldt.

Janina Marahrens-Hashagen also criticizes “desolate crisis management by the federal and state governments”. In addition to vaccinations and rapid tests, regional peculiarities would also have to be taken into account. Tübingen and Rostock showed what is possible with intelligent combinations of openings while protecting against infection at the same time. Matthias Fonger, General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, demands that Bremen too must become “a model region for innovative approaches”.

As far as the Easter services are concerned, the BEK relies on a mixture of on-site and digital offers. The federal and state governments have asked the churches not to hold attendance celebrations. For example, the BEK wants to commemorate the corona victims on Maundy Thursday and Holy Saturday in St. Petri Cathedral. “We are aware of our responsibility in the pandemic and will continue to conduct all services responsibly,” said Kuschnerus.

A Bremen Easter service as a live stream is also being planned. In the Catholic parishes, every pastor should consult with the church council and the parish council on whether there will be face-to-face services, the Bremen community association announced. The use of rapid tests in front of the church door is possible.

Down to business

Tightening of the corona regulations

With 134 newly reported corona infections, the city of Bremen has been just above the mark since Wednesday with a seven-day incidence of 101.7, from which the tightening of the corona measures should come into force if the trend stabilizes over several days – the so-called “emergency brake”. According to Alicia Bernhardt, press officer in the health department, the Bremen Senate will deal with the issue this Thursday. This is also necessary because the current corona ordinance only applies until Sunday, March 28, and must be extended.

For Bremerhaven, the tightening will come into force from this Thursday until April 18. Shopping with an appointment in retail is no longer possible for the time being. Museums (exception: zoo by the sea) have to close, and outdoor group sports that were previously permitted for children are prohibited. In addition, the magistrate decided that the police and the public order office should monitor the measures “as intensively as possible” and punish administrative offenses restrictively. The city initially waived a curfew. It should only apply if the incidence value is over 200 on three days. Then the Bremerhaven residents would have to stay at home between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
