Bonn has reached critical number of infected people
Bonn has reached the critical number of infected people within 7 days (regions with more than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a week are considered as risk areas) and therefore there are the following new regulations in place (additional and expanding on the existing rules):
- there is an obligation to wear a face mask in defined (more busy) areas of the city:
In the area of the main station, Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz and Konrad-Adenauer-Platz a mask must be worn daily between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.
In other defined areas, a mask must be worn on workdays between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. There are signs hanging around the city, which signal where to wear a mask. You can see the sign and a list of all the streets where a mask is obligatory on the city of Bonn's website.
Please note that high penalties will be incurred if you do not comply with the regulations!
Please follow these regulations, keep washing and disinfecting your hands and keep a 1,5m distance.
