This should ensure we do not get a third wave of enforced closures/distantiation again this autumn. It's been more than a year that I have been allowed to see my parents. I think I am ready for this thing to be put behind us. I'm probably not the only one.
You are not even allowed to see your parents? That is awful.
We cannot approach anyone who does not already live at the same address as we do. So we can only have social contacts with family members living under the same roof (including the holiday period, no exceptions). We also have a curfew from 20h00 to 05h00. We are allowed to go to stores, wearing masks, to buy things. We can't sit anywhere (restaurants can only provide takeout for example). There is a new rule coming up now where we will be allowed to take walks outside with other people if keeping a 2m distance. This would make it possible for me to meet my parents outside at least. But it's a 2 hour drive to then just spend a couple minutes outside at -15 celsius (5 f) where we can't even be closer than 2 meters. I might as well continue meeting online. The real solution is for this thing to be put behind us for good.
