New Ban Rules for Offenbach

With numbers going up on infections....the eastend of Frankfurt (Offenbach)....made up a new list of bans.

1.  Maximum of a group of five (at some bar, at your backyard bar-b-q, or on some picnic table.).

2.  Open-air events?  Maximum of 100 folks, until 3 Sep.

3.  Wedding ceremonies?  Limit of 50 people.

4.  Curfew starts immediately, for Saturday evening.....midnight...for pubs, restaurants, and bars.

5.  PE for schools?  No, at least til the end of the month.

6.  Pools?  Open for a maximum of 100 people.

7.  If you get the slip for quarantine....you need to take it serious.  More audits will occur with the police, and if you fail to present yourself at the house.....500 to 10k Euro.

More to come?  If the infection rate doesn't drop in the next two weeks....I'd go and expect more.

The tough part of this?  Curfew at bars in the area.  I'd expect a lot of guys to just give up on Offenbach, and drive into Frankfurt or Darmstadt.

Oh, and by the way they described the fine business....they hinted that 500 Euro wasn't really the starting point.....that you could play this game out and find yourself quickly in a 1k to 2k type situation. 

I would anticipate more cities going to this rough deal over the next month.
