On April 7, the rule for lifting the corona emergency brake was tightened. Now, the affected municipalities must be “at least seven days in a row with a stable trend below the value of 100”, says a new version of the Corona Protection Ordinance. The tightening was justified, among other things, with “limited” tests and case reports over the Easter days.

The affected districts and urban districts may, however, allow exceptions for people with a daily negative quick test or self-test. However, these exceptional options must be coordinated with the Ministry of Health beforehand.
