Press Release from the Mainz city government, 23 APR 2021
Courtesy Translation: Nadine Bower, Community Relations
In the state capital Mainz, the seven-day incidence has exceeded the thresholds of 100, 150 and 165 set in the emergency brake adopted by the Bundestag for more than three days. Therefore, from tomorrow, Saturday, April 24, 2021 on, the "Federal Emergency Brake" from Section 28b of the Infection Protection Act and the measures prescribed therein will apply.
Regulations of the "Federal Emergency Brake" will go in effect on Saturday, April 24, 2021 in Mainz
The state capital Mainz wants to draw particular attention to the following regulations:
Contact restrictions for private meetings indoors and outdoors: Private meetings are limited to the circle of members of one’s own household with a maximum of one other person not living in the household. Children under the age of 14 are not included.
Curfews: A curfew applies between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Only those who have a good reason can leave their house – i.e. to go to work, seeking medical help or having to take out the dog. It is still possible to go jogging or walking alone outside until midnight.
Schools and day-care centers: Classroom instruction in schools and regular care in daycare centers is prohibited. Possible exceptions: graduation classes and support schools. A separate press release will provide information on the regulations for emergency care in daycare centers.
Retail: Retail stores must close. Only click&collect is possible. Excluded are food stores, beverage markets, health food stores, baby stores, pharmacies, medical centers, drugstores, opticians, hearing care workers, gas stations, newspaper sales outlets, bookstores, flower shops, animal supply markets, feeding markets, garden markets and wholesalers. In all cases, of course, compliance with appropriate hygiene concepts and the obligation to wear masks remain a prerequisite.
Gastronomic establishments may only sell items for consumption outside their establishment.
Services close to the body – allowed only in exceptional cases: Services close to the body can only be used for medical, therapeutic, nursing or pastoral purposes. Exception: a visit to the hairdresser's and foot care specialist are possible, but only if the customers can present a negative corona test from the same day – and of course only with a mask. Other services close to the body are no longer possible.
Professional athletes as well as competitive athletes of the federal and state squads can continue to train and also compete - as usual without spectators and with adhering to the protection and hygiene requirements. For everyone else: doing sports yes, but only outside and alone, in pairs (max. two households) or only with members of one’s own household. Exception: Children up to 14 years of age can exercise outside in a group with up to five other children without contact.
In addition, the administrative staff of the state capital Mainz has decided that the following measure for the city of Mainz - beyond the federal law - will continue to apply in accordance with Section 28b(5):
Mandatory masks: In the pedestrian areas of the downtown area as well as on the station forecourt, masks are still mandatory on all days except Sundays and public holidays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The mandatory mask zone on the banks of the Rhein River applies to the entire bank of the river from the railway bridge (South Bridge) at the Victor-Hugo-Ufer to the rotary bridge at the customs port at the end of Taunusstraße in the period from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. on all days.
A corresponding general decree, which will be adapted to the Federal Emergency Brake and the then existing requirements of the state, will be published over the weekend.
