Police officers in Berlin begin shutting down bars, pubs and clubs to prevent spread of coronavirus as number of confirmed cases continues to rise in Germany
"Of 263 confirmed cases in Berlin, 42 can be traced back to nightclubs," said the city-state's health senator Dilek Kalayci as she announced the new ban on all public events.
"You know we love sick parties, but this is going too far," quipped Sisyphos nightclub on its website, as it joined the ranks of famous Berlin nightclubs closing their doors this weekend. "Of 263 confirmed cases in Berlin, 42 can be traced back to nightclubs," said the city-state's health senator Dilek Kalayci as she announced the new ban on all public events.The new rules, which will be in place until at least April 19, also affect cinemas, betting shops, swimming pools, leisure centres and — in a country where prostitution is legal — brothels.
"For us, it is the biggest crisis since the end of the Second World War, we've never had such a big threat to the cultural scene," said Lutz Leichsenring of local industry association "Clubcommission." "The difference between us and the city's other cultural institutions which have already closed ... is that they are funded by taxes, whereas the culture we provide is funded by our clients," said Leichsenring.
