Lifting of the 'Corona emergency stop' in effect

The Rhein-Kreis Neuss is set to return to a semblance of normality from May 24, 2021, as the local authorities announce a series of relaxation measures. The decision comes following a significant drop in the 7-day incidence, which has been below 100 since May 16, 2021.

Starting from next Monday, a nightly curfew will be lifted, and the "Corona emergency brake" will be lifted at 00:00. Outdoor contact sports can now be enjoyed in groups, subject to contact restrictions. Fully vaccinated and recovered individuals are not counted in these numbers.

Meetings of one household plus one person or up to five people from two households will be possible. Outdoor dining for guests with a negative test result, proof of recovery, or vaccination is allowed. This also applies to children under 14, who are not counted in these numbers.

All stores may open, with those that do not count as essential able to admit a limited number of customers with a negative rapid test result, without an appointment. Body-related services are also allowed again, subject to conditions, without a rapid test (excluding services where a mouth-nose protector cannot be worn, which require a negative test result).

Private overnight stays in holiday apartments, campsites, and hotels are also permitted, requiring a negative test result. Swimming pools may be visited for sporting activities with a negative test result.

Smaller outdoor facilities such as mini-golf courses and climbing parks may open. Outdoor concerts with a maximum of 500 people with a negative test result are permitted. Museums and exhibitions may be visited with prior appointment booking.

However, it's worth noting that there are no specific current regulations for visitors of outdoor cultural events in Rhein-Kreis Neuss from Monday, May 24, 2021. The provided information includes general COVID-19 measures from other dates and locations but does not specify rules valid on that exact date for outdoor cultural events in Rhein-Kreis Neuss.

The mask requirement remains unchanged in stores, public transport, and pedestrian zones. Recovered and vaccinated individuals are treated equally to those who have tested negative in all areas after full immunization.
