I hope all of you are staying safe and well. Here is my monthly update on how the situation is in Germany! Here in Germany the restrictions are continuing to lift and sometimes there is a sense of normality again. You can find part one and part two of my corona chronicles in Germany here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kontaktverbot statt Ausgangsbeschr\u00e4nkung<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A contact ban instead of a curfew<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

From the 6th of May the official curfew\/restrictions to leave your home has been lifted. You are allowed to go out to the shops, have a picnic and resume other normalities. However there is still a no contact rule, you must keep your distance between\u00a0yourself and\u00a0others,\u00a0and you are only allowed to see one other household at a time. Wearing a mask on public transport is still mandatory.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ab dem 8. Mai d\u00fcrfen sich zwei Haushalte treffen<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

From the 8th of May two households are allowed to meet<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

This rule was eased just in time for Mother’s Day. Two households (which also means more than two people) are allowed to meet either at home or outside.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

Ab dem 11. Mai d\u00fcrfen alle Gesch\u00e4fte, Museen und Zoos \u00f6ffnen<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

From the 11th of May all shops, <\/i><\/em>museums<\/i><\/em>,<\/i><\/em>\u00a0and zoos open<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

You must however still wear a facemask when going into\u00a0shops and museums.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ab dem 18. Mai darf die Gastronomie im Au\u00dfenbereich \u00f6ffnen<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

From the 18th of May outdoor dining<\/i><\/em>\u00a0<\/i><\/em>at<\/i><\/em>\u00a0restau<\/i><\/em>rants<\/i><\/em>\u00a0<\/i><\/em>is<\/i><\/em>\u00a0allowed<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

There will still have to be a 1.5-meter Mindestabstand <\/b><\/strong>(minimum distance) between guests, people from two different households are allowed to meet and only the waiters must wear Mundschutz <\/b><\/strong>(masks). This also includes Bierg\u00e4rten <\/b><\/strong>(beer gardens), however they must close at 8pm.<\/p>\n

From the 25th of May restaurants will also be opening, with the same rules as above but also guests can then sit inside as well,\u00a0and they are allowed to stay till 10pm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ab dem 18. Mai d\u00fcrfen die Sch\u00fcler teilweise den Unterricht wieder besuchen<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

From the 18th of May some pupils<\/i><\/em> are allowed to attend classes again<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

Many of the school subjects are slimmed down and mainly the core subjects will be taught. This means Sport <\/b><\/strong>(sport), Kunst <\/b><\/strong>(art) and Musik <\/b><\/strong>(music) will not be taught as often. The classes will be divided into smaller groups,\u00a0who will take turns in going to school. On the days where the children aren’t at school, homeschooling will continue.<\/p>\n

Germany’s relaxations of the regulations are a small twinkle of hope \u00a0that maybe things will be going back to “normal life” sooner than we think. I personally am still enjoying the slow life and taking things as they come.\u00a0I find it a real hidden blessing to be able to take your time and enjoy the smaller things in life, even if this situation can sometimes be a struggle.<\/p>\n

How are you doing from where you’re from? Let me know in the comments below.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n
