What do the new restrictions consist of?

All non-essential shops and services will close until January 10, including hairdressers which remained open under the current lockdown "lite."

Schools are urged to send students home and continue lessons online as well as extending the Christmas holidays until January 10.

Daycare centers will also close, but parents will be able to take paid holidays in order to look after their children.

Employers are encouraged to allow employees to work from home.

People will not be allowed to drink alcohol in public.

Religious events in churches, synagogues, and mosques may take place if they follow hygiene rules, but communal singing is not allowed.

States still plan to ease stricter contact restrictions for December 24 to 26 so that close family members can spend Christmas together.

People may not purchase fireworks for New Year's Eve.

The church thing is honestly a bad idea imo.

Christmas services are always packed. They should really just stream it. Even the most backwater of local churches have basic AV equipment and an internet connection these days >_>

not much changes for me tbh. All the things I enjoy doing were not allowed during the "lockdown light". Just need to have my barber stop by my place once or twice, same as in the spring. Just Christmas and New Years will be lame as hell now.

Its Germany, ppl there arent as religious as somewhere like the US. When I saw that there would be paid holidays to look after your children that was a dead giveaway this is not the US lol

Last I checked, the US isn't the country where every smallest village has a sign detailing all the local churches and when their services are (and only the churches)

Germany is religious, not not as toxic about it

Heroic efforts to flattening the curve. A cut to public drinking will rip the virus to shreds.

Fuck that. Shut it all down. Unless they want an express ticket to meet their god, it is not work the risk when you have all the other measures in place.

Im surprised they had the balls to close retail during Christmas. Here its just bars, casinos and gyms with retail capacity being reduced.

Yesterday my friend said there were literally lines to get into every store.
Getting the rest of my shopping done sounds like it might be a nightmare.

If you can't visit people over Christmas, there's no need to buy presents for them

I mean ours are not nearly as strict as the ones in the OP, so I am having my parents and sister over. I believe its limited to 10 people person gatherings (Not that it is at all enforceable).

If our mosque manages to do so since a few months, the churches have no excuse

Those are among the the first things that should have been banned, why make exceptions for stupid shit like this
