CORONA VIRUS INFORMATION
The most important rules at a glance:
When it comes to protection against Corona, the state government will in future be relying primarily on the individual responsibility of its citizens and on the uniform federal regulations of the Infection Protection Act, which are valid until April 7, 2023. According to these, for example, passengers on long-distance public transport or people in hospitals, doctors' surgeries and similar facilities are required to wear a respiratory protection mask. Employees in hospitals or in nursing care must also provide proof of testing at least three times a week.
Irrespective of this, the state government is appealing to Saxony-Anhalt residents to behave in a health-conscious manner and protect others, e.g. by observing distance and hygiene rules. It also asks that vaccination protection be maintained.
The 18th Corona Containment Ordinance of the state, which is currently still valid up to and including December 7, 2022, is expiring. Regulated was here last practically only the mask obligation in the public transport. In view of the fact that both the transport ministers and the health ministers of the federal states were unable to agree on a common position on the mandatory use of masks in local public transport, and that there are also differing positions on this issue in the scientific community and the public, the state government has decided not to extend the ordinance. This decision was also made against the background that masks are no longer mandatory in public spaces such as sports halls, cinemas or restaurants.
