GERMANY’S PLAN FOR REOPENING (IN GERMAN, TRANSLATIONS OF PARTS BY A FRIEND — I AM NO LONGER FLUENT ENOUGH TO TRANSLATE): Beschlüsse gefällt – Das ist der Fahrplan für die nächsten Wochen.
-
-
Stores up to 800m^2 (8,800 sq,ft) can be opened starting Monday April 20, with hygiene and distance restrictions
-
Also can reopen then: bike and car stores regardless of size, as well as libraries, archives, zoos, botanical gardens
-
Bavaria, which has been the hardest hit, wants to wait a little longer
-
-
Hairdressers: May 4 (with protection)
-
Schools: gradually reopen starting May 4, in Bavaria starting May 11. Classes prepping for HS leaving exams come first
-
Restaurants (other than takeaway), beer gardens,… Not so fast
-
Mass events (concerts, soccer matches,…) not until August 31
-
Hotels: only for business, not tourism
-
Religious assemblies remain prohibited
That last line? Yeah….. All within the state, nothing outside the state. I sense the shape of this mess, don’t you guys? SCHOOLS can open, but not churches? (Spits.)
