Saarbrücken In Saarland, the Council of Ministers decided on Friday evening to extend the current Corona Ordinance until April 2nd. Which regulations will apply from today and in which areas will they be relaxed.
From Sunday (March 20), some corona rules in Saarland will be relaxed, other requirements will continue to apply for the time being. This is provided for in an amending regulation passed by the cabinet on Friday, which will apply until April 2nd. The contact restrictions for the unvaccinated will no longer apply – for those who have recovered and those who have been vaccinated, these were already canceled on March 4th.

According to the Ministry of Health, there will no longer be upper limits for the number of people for public and private events inside and outside. So far, a maximum of 6,000 people have been allowed to come together inside and up to 25,000 outside.

Mask requirement in Saarland is relaxed
In addition, something is happening with the mask requirement: Although it still applies in principle in closed rooms that are accessible to visitors or customers, it can now be omitted where the 3G rule is controlled and observed, i.e. only vaccinated, tested and recovered people have access. Previously, the mask requirement indoors and at events was only omitted if 2G-plus was observed, i.e. only vaccinated or recovered people with a test had access.

The elimination of further restrictions is an “important step back towards normality,” said Health Minister Monika Bachmann (CDU) according to the announcement. “Nevertheless, our common goal, especially now, must be to reduce the daily number of new infections again.”

Saarland: Is it compulsory to wear a mask in schools?
The mask requirement in schools and in retail can remain in place until the end of March. It must be there by April 2 at the latest, unless the state parliament declares the entire country or individual areas to be a corona hotspot. That would require a threatening infection situation – due to overloading of the healthcare system or a dangerous virus variant.

The Bundestag passed an amended Infection Protection Act on Friday, which eliminates most of the nationwide corona protection rules – the law had also passed the Bundesrat. However, the federal states were granted a transitional period of two weeks until April 2nd.
