In addition to the nurseries and schools closed since June 17, with nearly 50,000 children involved, cinemas, sports halls, theaters and fitness rooms will be subject to the same regime. The restaurants will remain open, but their attendance is reserved for members of the same family. Barbecues are very popular in Germany in the summer period, as well as open-air events, will be banned.

The pandemic has not disappeared

Lothar Wieler, director of the Robert-Koch-institut

in recent days, the political pressure on the minister president of the Rhineland-North Westphalia, Armin Laschet, also a candidate to succeed Angela Merkel at the chancellery, had increased. In recent weeks, the head of the CDU showed a strong supporter of déconfinement, in the interest of the German economy.

But a sign that the epidemic threatens to spread to the general population, 24 positive cases have already been diagnosed in people who do not work in the slaughterhouse. A majority of employees in the Romanian, Bulgarian and Polish are used in the company Tönnies, in conditions of work and accommodation which have been widely denounced. The company, which relies heavily on outsourcing, has been criticised for refusing to make public the registry of his staff, officially in the name of the protection of personal data.
