Reactions and actions

On March 12, the state government instructed the districts to issue general orders banning major events and forbidding returnees from certain risk areas from entering public facilities.

With an ordinance on March 17, 2020, the state of Brandenburg banned public traffic in sports, leisure and amusement facilities, restricted visitors to clinics, old people's and nursing homes and prohibited the operation of facilities for the disabled, with the exception of emergency care there.

From March 18, Brandenburg decreed a state-wide school closure. Emergency care was subsequently set up for children whose parents work in systemically important professions.

This regulation was replaced by another on March 23, 2020. In addition to the nationwide ban on contact, the state government issued a "ban on entering public places such as paths, streets, squares and parks". Numerous exceptions were defined such as work, necessary shopping, child care and individual outdoor sports.

On April 9, 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 Quarantine Ordinance (SARS-CoV-2-QuarV) was also issued, which stipulates a fourteen-day quarantine for incoming and outgoing travelers. It is initially valid until April 19, 2020.

Since Brandenburg is an areal state, the positive test numbers and deaths have long been well below the national average. At the end of March and beginning of April, however , more than 100 of the 2,300 employees in the Ernst von Bergmann Potsdam Clinic were infected with the virus. Patients were also infected in large numbers. By April 14th, 24 people with a positive corona test had died in the clinic - more than half of a total of 40 fatalities during this time. It was particularly problematic that the geriatric department was not strictly isolated and the patient's routes through different departments of the clinic could no longer be traced. The public prosecutor is investigating investigations against three senior doctors and the two managing directors of the clinic. Due to the grievances, it was decided to restructure the clinic areas into three strictly separated areas: a black area with patients who tested positive for Corona, white for patients who tested negative and gray for patients with outstanding results. By April 16, the number of people who died in the clinic rose to 36, with 54 dead in the country. Since the clinic did not provide the state government with the information requested about the infections after repeated requests, the clinic is now threatened with a fine. After two weeks, the clinic presented data on April 16, which, however, was warned as incomplete. The illnesses also affected the psychiatric clinic several kilometers from the main building.

On April 15, the Brandenburg State Parliament passed an emergency law that allows local parlors - district assemblies and local councils - to meet via video and telephone conferences

By April 16, emergency aid of 740 million euros had been made available by the state government.

Potsdam was the first city in Brandenburg to announce a mask requirement from April 27, 2020 . The Brandenburg Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher spoke out on April 21st against a mask requirement. Just three days later, however, the cabinet passed such an obligation in public transport and in shops from April 27th.
