Corona loosenings from 21.05.
Today, Wednesday, the seven-day incidence in Jena is below the threshold of 100 for the fifth working day in a row. Thus, the "federal emergency brake" from the Infection Protection Act expires. With the current Thuringia SARS-CoV-2 Infection Protection Measures Ordinance, further relaxations are possible in Jena from Friday, May 21, 2021.
"I thank all citizens for the perseverance and discipline of the past weeks and am pleased that we can now all benefit together from the first relaxations and openings," says Mayor Thomas Nitzsche. "Of course, the same still applies: we must not become careless. We want to open in a stable way, a ping-pong of open-close no one can want. Therefore, some basic rules such as keeping our distance, quick tests and also the wearing of the face mask will continue to accompany us for a while."
