Press release No. 215 of 6 May 2021
WIESBADEN – The 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew introduced by the ‘federal emergency brake’ in towns and districts with a high 7-day incidence has an impact on the night-time mobility of the population in Germany. From 24 April to 1 May 2021, night-time mobility went down 12 percentage points more, on average, in towns and districts under curfew than in those not under curfew compared with the reference values of the pre-crisis year of 2019. This is shown by an ad-hoc evaluation of experimental data carried out by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) to represent recent mobility changes during the coronavirus pandemic.
