Berlin relaxes corona rules further

Politicians agreed to lift a number of other restrictions. For example, alcohol can once again be served after midnight.

Mayor Michael Müller expressed his relief at the falling infection numbers in the city. "We are currently experiencing significant relief in the hospitals and intensive care units," the SPD politician said at the press conference following the meeting.

FFP2 masks must still be worn on public transport. "Public transport is getting more crowded," Müller said. "We're working less from home, we have more tourists in the city and the pandemic is not over yet. Berliners are handling the rule well."
