General ruling

Enforcement of the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases in humans (Infektionsschutzgesetz - IfSG)

Part 1: Thuringian law also applies in Jena

  1. The federal state of Thuringia has made rules about Corona.
    All people in Thuringia must abide by these rules.
    Even in the city of Jena.
    The rules for the federal state of Thuringia have been in effect since April 18, 2020.
    Since then they have been changed several times.
    With these rules, the federal state of Thuringia wants to achieve one thing:
    The corona virus should not spread any further.
  1. The federal state of Thuringia has made rules for travel to Thuringia.
    These rules say:
    What happens if you come to Thuringia from another state?
    And the federal state of Thuringia has made rules for leaving Thuringia.
    These rules say:
    What happens if you travel from Thuringia to another federal state?
    These rules have been in effect since April 18, 2020.
    After that they were changed several times.
    And they are still valid.

Part 2: A new general decree of the city of Jena

What is a general ruling?

It's rules.

All people must abide by these rules.

Some of these rules still apply.

Some of the rules have been changed.

How long do the rules apply?

These rules apply immediately.
They have been in effect since April 24, 2020.
Since then they have been changed several times.

The rules from the earlier general order no longer apply.

Why are there these rules of the city of Jena?

The city of Jena uses them to fight the Corona virus.

To prevent it from spreading further.

That's why these rules apply to everyone.

These rules apply from now on:

  1. Wearing a mouth-nose cover

All people in the city of Jena a mouth-nose-cover wear.
When and where do you have to wear a mouth guard?

  • When I'm in a store.
    Because:
    Sometimes in a business, you can't keep the minimum distance
    The minimum distance is five feet.
    So two big steps.
  • When I pick up food or drinks.
  • When I go into craftsmen's or craftswomen's rooms.
  • When I go into the rooms of servants
    For example, when I repair cell phones.
    To the lawyer.
    Or to the cleaners.
  • In a shopping mall.
    There are many shops under one roof.
    Even between the different shops, you have to have     Mouth and nose cover wear.
  • At the weekly market.
  1. Infection protection concepts for different professions

Infection is another word for contagion.
Infection-protection therefore means

There are infection-protection concepts for different professions.
[Concept is another word for a plan. ]
So that people are also well protected at work.
Here you can read about these protection concepts.
But:
The text is not in easy language.

www.tmasgff.de/covid-19/schutzkonzepte

Everyone must abide by these rules.
And..:
Sometimes the minimum distance cannot be maintained.
And sometimes several people have to work together for a long time in a closed room.
There must also be a protection concept for this.
Otherwise it is not allowed.

The infection protection concepts apply in these areas:

  • When entering craft and service businesses.
    [One service is for example a mobile phone repair.
    Or cleaning.     ]
    With some services, people get very close.
    One also comes very close to the needs of other people.
    For example, with a facial treatment.
    With such services, employees must provide special protection.
    That is why they have to wear a breathing protection mask.
    At least one FFP2 mask.
    Or a KN95 or N95 mask.
    And safety goggles or a face shield.
  • In hotels and restaurants.
    In areas where guests may be present.
    For example, in the corridor.
    The foyer.
    The elevators.
    Or in the guest room.
    Customers must be protected there as well.
    And the employees.
    But:
    When the guests sit at the table, they don't have to wear a mask.
  • When you have food and drink picked up or delivered.
  • In shops.
    Wherever employees have contact with customers.
  • In doctors' surgeries.
    Or in other therapy facilities.
    In medical care centres.
    [A health care center is, for example, a doctor's house. ]
    In hospitals.
    In these places, patients have to have     Wear mouth-nose cover.
    And the employees must wear     wear medical mouth and nose protection.
  • In shopping malls.
    Also in the covered areas between shops.

In some places, employees don't have to wear a mouth-nose cover.
Then, if they are protected in another way.
For example, through plexiglass panes.

In some places, these infection-protection concepts do not apply.

Not even indoors.
Namely:

  • If all people in a room have a safe distance of 1.5 meters.
  • If each person in the room has at least 10 square meters of space.
  • If the place has its own infection control system.
    And a plan how to ventilate enough.

These rules don't apply in private homes.

  1. Infection protection concepts for shops

Which rules apply in shops?
And in other places with public traffic?
[Public access means, for example:
customers come to this place.
Or visitors of a cinema. ]
In these places applies in enclosed spaces:

Each person should have 10 square meters of space.
More people should not enter the rooms.
Therefore, there may be controls at the entrances.

So you should calculate precisely:
How large is the sales area in the store?
Or:
How large is the area for visitors?
You have to remove the shelves, for example.
And the sales stands.
The employees are not included in this calculation.

  1. Regulations for persons at risk

Have you had any symptoms of illness in the last 7 days?
[Disease symptoms are signs of illness. ]
Do you have a fever?
Is your body temperature higher 98.5 degrees?
Do you have a dry cough?
Do you have problems breathing?
Do you have lung pain?
Can you suddenly no longer smell and taste?
Do you have a sore throat or aching limbs?
Do you have these symptoms right now?
Or have you had them in the last 7 days?
Then you're a risk person.
Because:
Maybe you have the corona virus in your body.

Which is why these rules apply to you:

  • You are not allowed to go into open stores.
  • You are not allowed to go to the service rooms of craftsmen.
  • You may not enter the duty rooms of service providers.
  • You are not allowed to go to hotels or restaurants.
  • You may not go to the cinema or theatre.
    And you may not go to other cultural institutions.
  • You may not go to sports halls or sports grounds.
  • You may not visit recreational facilities.
  • You are not allowed to travel by bus or train.
  • You are not allowed to go to doctors' surgeries or other medical facilities.
    The exception is:
    You must see a doctor for COVID-19 disease.

Did you have a corona test and the test was negative?
[That is:
You do not have the corona virus. ]
Then these rules no longer apply to you.

Supplementary regulations and notes to the 2nd quarantine regulation of 25.05.2020

On 25.5.2020 there were regulations on quarantine.

[Quarantine means:

You may have the Corona virus.

That is why you do not meet other people.

You stay alone.]

The rules of 25.5.2020 still apply.

But these rules will be added.

This is called: supplementary regulations.

Sports events

NEW: Sports events with up to 200 spectators are possible again from 16.07.2020. However, this requires an infection protection concept, which must be approved by the respective health authority. The concept should above all provide for controllable entrances and exits and contain measures to maintain a minimum distance.

Meetings and demonstrations

Meetings and demonstrations in the sense of Article 8 of the Basic Law (GG), religious gatherings, events of political parties, official and communal events, professional and company events are permitted. At all meetings and events, the infection protection rules must be observed.

Between 06.05. and the end of the school year a limited, modified teaching was in force. From 13 June onwards, the regulations of the KISSp regulation of the Free State were valid. For the beginning of the next school year, a step-by-step concept is planned, which provides for regular operation with additional preventive infection control measures in case of a low infection rate (step green).

In case of single infections or locally increased infection rate (level yellow) several coordinated measures have to be implemented. In the worst case (level red), closures of facilities are possible. (Stage concept (PDF document) ). A legally binding framework is currently still pending.

From 02.06. limited regular operation in day-care centres

From 02.06.2020, the Jena daycare centres will be subject to limited regular operation. This means that all children can return to the daycare centers. In each daycare center, a daily care time of at least 7 hours is guaranteed, for example from 08:00 to 15:00.

Reason for restricted opening hours

The reason for the restricted opening hours is mainly due to the regulations of the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (TMBJS) and Thuringian Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Women and Family (TMASGFF) (PDF document), which must be observed. This includes that the children must be looked after in a fixed group with a fixed educator in a fixed room. A mixing of the children, as is usually the case in the morning or in the later afternoon hours, is not permitted.

Depending on the Kita, there will be different forms of these framework conditions, depending on spatial and personnel resources. The top priority is strict adherence to the hygiene rules/hygiene concepts.

By entering into restricted regular operation, previous emergency care for children of parents with systemically important occupations is no longer necessary

The entry into the restricted regular operation means that the previous emergency care for children of parents with systemically important occupations is no longer applicable. the previous emergency care can only be provided until 29.05.2020 in the form most recently extended by the state by including pre-school children and their siblings in the manner known up to now and during the last usual care periods.

According to the last regulation of the state, the restricted regular operation must completely replace the previous emergency care. Privileged treatment of children whose parents work in system-relevant occupations is then no longer permitted under the state's ordinance.

Child day care

The day care centre is open again.

    Mouth and nose cover

    The obligation to wear a mouth-and-nose cover exists when entering all publicly accessible buildings (e.g. supermarkets, points of sale of foodstuffs, offices of craftsmen and service providers, public transport, banks, etc.) and whenever the distance to other persons of at least 1.5 metres cannot be maintained.

    Excluded from the obligation to wear a mouth-nose cover are

    • Children until school entry
    • Persons who, due to a disability or for health or other reasons, cannot or cannot reasonably be expected to wear them - this must be demonstrated in a suitable manner

    This obligation results from the regulations of the state of Thuringia and the Jena general disposition.

    Through a Mouth and nose cover intercepts droplets that are emitted when you speak, cough or sneeze. The risk of infecting another person by coughing or sneezing is reduced. The wearing of aMouth and nose cover is therefore mainly foreign protection.

    Of course, a simple, fabric-stitched Mouth and nose cover not for the care of corona-positive patients. A mouth and nose protector is required here.

    But: Each cover has more protective effect for wearer and opposite than none!

    As everyday masks, fabric masks, so-called "surgical masks" made of fleece fabric, cloths, buffs, etc. can be used. According to the motto "Any kind of cover protects my counterpart better than none", other fabric cuts or, if necessary, a clean kitchen towel can also be used. You should cover your mouth and nose. In this way, droplets that are emitted when speaking, sneezing or coughing can be held back as well as aerosols, i.e. possible viruses that are released when breathing out. These coverings serve to protect other people in case you are infected yourself (and do not know this yet due to the incubation period).

    FPP2 and FPP3 masks

    FFP2 and 3 masks are only recommended for those who need special protection against covid 19 infection due to existing health risks. These masks filter the air that is inhaled. Especially if the mask is equipped with a valve, it lets out the exhaled air unfiltered. These masks therefore protect their wearer. Due to the strength of the fabric, breathing under these masks is more difficult. Please talk to your doctor. These are also the people to contact if you should not wear a mouth-nose-cover / mouth-nose-protector for medical reasons and will issue a certificate.

    Since the mouth-nose-coverings do not provide complete protection, it is nevertheless necessary to keep a distance from other people as much as possible.

    Not every infected person notices that they are sick. Wearing a cover can prevent undetected infected people from infecting others.

    Please wash before touching and applying the Mouth and nose cover thoroughly and disinfect your hands if possible. The cover must fit tightly in front of your nose and mouth.

    In addition, you should not touch them while wearing them.

    It is also important to change and wash the self-sewn Mouth and Nose Covers regularly, especially if they are soaked, to change and wash them.

    The self-sewn Mouth and nose covers can be used several times by washing them as a boil wash (at 90° C or 95° C) and then ironing them. This procedure destroys the germs.

    The coverings must be washed daily! Cleaning can also be done by boiling them in a pot on the stove.

    Yes!

    Coverages are a supplement to the measures. They do not replace the minimum distance of 1.5 metres. The other hygiene measures must not be neglected either.

    The wearing of a Mouth and nose cover can lead to a false sense of security. The wearer runs the risk of forgetting important hygiene measures such as washing hands.

    It is extremely important to change the cover regularly (change it immediately if it is soaked through, but at least once a day) and to wash and iron at high temperatures after each use.

    Our campaign "My smile behind for the heroes in front" has started. You can publish your "mask pictures", on the networks Instagram and Twitter, with the hashtag #my smile for heroes, then they will appear on our Social-Wall.

    We look forward to your photos!
