Several New Covid Ban Rules

If you live in the south of Germany, in Baden-Wurttemberg....there are some new ban rules.

First,  curfew starts at 10:30 PM....meaning you need to head out by 10 PM to avoid getting confronted by the cops on the street/road.  Curfew ends at 5 AM.

Second, vaxed-up people will be exempt from 2G-plus situations where you MUST test as part of entry into a facility.  However, this exemption is only good if you vaxed-up in the past 90 days or less.  On the 91st day, you must do the test procedure, if ordered.  Complicated?  Yeah, just more regulation on top of a mountain of regulation already.

Finally, if your local area has a 7-day infection rate of 500 or more.....plus you are non-vax/non-recovered....you have a personal curfew of 9 PM.  This tends to mean anytime after 9 PM....the cops see you on the street or in a parking lot.....you will be a magnet for asking for your 'pass' or status.  

To be honest, it's reaching a point where you need to print out the rules (six to eight pages) and carry them with you.  Life has become a fairly complicated mess.

It's not actually a curfew (as those were ruled unconstitutional), it means that gastronomie has to close at those times. If you're out for a walk there's no issue as far as I'm aware, and I'll report back in a couple of weeks when I start training again and walking home at 10 at night.

Supposed to be a big federal/state meeting middle of next week. Some rumors suggest a three-week shutdown period....perhaps curfews like last winter (probably at 10 PM), etc. Locally, they still ran the Christmas market, and lot of people were out on the streets. I was expecting an eruption of more Covid but didn't really see any big increased numbers. Either the vaccine works to some degree, or a fair number of people have had Covid/recovered, and can't get it for a while.
