Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Here is a funny one from Germany. In Bremen you can now play golf again. In Lower Saxony you can’t yet. One golf course in Bremen (I think they have 2 or 3) has the 1st 9 holes across the border in Lower Saxony, so for the time being you can only play the holes 10 to 18 as well as visit the practice areas. Holes 1 to 9 are taped off.
 
So which is the correct app, as always, there’s a few out there, but surely something so important there should only be one official app.
 
Last night it was announced that there would be a 4 phase un-lockdown with trigger points every 2 weeks. The phase start points would be different in each region, depending on level of Covid experienced in each region. Each phase could be extended beyond its nominal 2 week period, or even stepped back to the previous phase dependent on outcomes in each phase.

Various activities will also have a number of restrictions, each being removed at various phases. Bars and restaurants can open at the end of the month, but only their outside terraces and only to 50%. Interiors of those establishments can open 2 weeks later but only to 50%.

Non-contact sports, e.g. cycling, golf can open on the 11th but only to a max of 50% capacity. Football can open 2 weeks later but behind closed door. Spectators allowed 2 weeks later but only to a max of 500 spectators.

Hotels and holiday accommodation open up in June but not the communal areas in those establishments, e.g. pools/restaurants.

There's pages of it with tons more detail but no doubt you get the gist.
