Broad Release Announcement

In the heart of Germany, the district of Rhein-Kreis Neuss has taken significant steps to combat the spread of COVID-19. As of October 16, 2020, a general decree has been established, which can be found online at www.rhein-kreis-neuss.de/av-corona-35.

The current situation in Neuss has led to a 7-day incidence of 40.7, a figure that has sparked discussions between the district administration and local public order offices regarding further measures. While no specific additional measures have been jointly agreed upon or planned, discussions are ongoing.

One potential measure under consideration is a curfew in the catering industry or extended mask requirements in public spaces. The mask requirement, if implemented, would apply to holders, employees, customers, and users, and would extend to seated or standing places, including performances, concerts, or sporting events. It would also apply to events and gatherings in closed rooms and cases where maintaining minimum distance is not possible.

The newsletter provides in-depth information about these topics, and is free to subscribe to.

In addition to these measures, a general ban on events and gatherings with more than 1,000 people has been imposed, with a few exceptions. The district encourages everyone to stay informed and take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and others during these challenging times.

Stay safe, Neuss!
