Christmas and New Year’s Eve are also under special auspices for the Schleswig-Holstein state police this year: the deployment and personnel concept are tailored to the current Corona situation across the country.
The contact restrictions in the corona pandemic also apply over the Christmas period. There is also an exception for families: their own household and four other members of the immediate family may come together. But what happens when people in Schleswig-Holstein don’t adhere to it? The state police say they want to be present at church services in the open air and in usually busy places.
