Article Title: COVID-19 Regulations for Neuss' Pools, Ice Rink, and "Wellness" Facilities during the Christmas Holidays
During the Christmas holidays from December 28, 2021, to January 9, 2022, visitors to Neuss' swimming pools, ice rink, and "Wellness" facilities were required to comply with strict COVID-19 entry regulations. These regulations, part of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia's (NRW) Corona measures, were designed to reduce virus transmission in high-risk indoor settings.
The regulations mandated that visitors, including children aged 6 and above, youth up to 15 years old, and adults, must be either fully vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 (2G+ rule). This means that individuals must have received their full vaccination series or have recovered from the virus to gain entry to these public indoor leisure facilities.
In addition to the 2G+ rule, mask-wearing and social distancing were typically enforced, and capacity limits might have applied during that period as part of local or state regulations.
It's important to note that these rules were part of the stricter protective measures implemented in NRW during the late 2021 winter wave of COVID-19.
While specific Neuss-related regulations for the specified dates could not be found directly, the 2G rule was the prevailing standard for access to such facilities around the end of 2021 and early 2022. For more detailed and exact rules that were in place for Neuss during this period, it would be advisable to check archived local government websites or decrees from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia issued in late December 2021.
Separate from these COVID-19 regulations, a free newsletter is available for those interested in staying informed about social developments, culinary arts, art, and culture in Neuss. Signing up for the newsletter does not exempt individuals from the 2G+ regulations or any other COVID-19 requirements for accessing the city's swimming pools, ice rink, and "Wellness" facilities.
The newsletter is not exclusive to those participating in sports and swimming activities, and it does not send spam, as stated in the Privacy Policy. To confirm subscription, check the inbox or spam folder.
Youth aged 16 and above will be treated like adults in terms of the regulations. These regulations are in effect until January 9, 2022, during the Christmas holidays.
