German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Prime Ministers of the Federal Land agree to toughen quarantine measures further over the coronavirus epidemic in Germany at a telephone conference on Sunday March 22.
The main point: more than two people do not gather. An exception is made for family members, as well as people living in a single household, DW writes..
Contact with others must be kept to a minimum.. For this, in particular, keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters from the nearest person in public places.
All gastronomic enterprises must be closed. The same applies to personal care services, including hairdressing and beauty studios..
But, under the agreement, travel to work or to help other people is still allowed.. Individual sports and outdoor exercise will continue to be possible..
New rules will be valid in the next two weeks..
As it became known to Spiegel Online, a group of 12 federal states advocated a complete ban on any contacts.
