Germany Orders First Local Lockdown Since Easing – State Premier
German authorities on Tuesday ordered a new lockdown for an entire district — the first since easing coronavirus restrictions and a major setback for hopes of a swift return to normality.
He said the lockdown would affect 360,000 people in the district of Guetersloh, and would stay in place until at least June 30. The rate in Geutersloh has soared well above that, sitting at 263 cases per 100,000 residents on Monday. The move comes as Germany and the rest of the EU begin taking steps towards getting tourism up and running again, with many European borders reopening just last week.
The German government has responded by banning the use of subcontractors in the meat industry in a bid to curb the controversial practice of companies using middlemen to supply workers from abroad who are more vulnerable to abuses. “If we are able to keep the number of cases low the whole time, then we will be able to contain and end outbreaks locally, and that will remain the case,” RKI head Lothar Wieler said.
