As of today: No more compensation for unvaccinated people in quarantine
Anyone who has not yet been vaccinated will no longer receive compensation for the loss of earnings in the event of a quarantine order from November 1, 2021. This regulation was already decided by the federal and state governments at the end of September.
The reason: in the meantime every adult has received a vaccination offer. The fact that the state then pays for a loss of earnings can no longer be justified. Some federal states, such as Baden-Württemberg, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, had already implemented this regulation a few weeks beforehand.
However, this regulation does not apply to the more than one million civil servants in Germany. They will continue to receive their salaries even if they have to be quarantined due to an official order and have not yet been vaccinated. This is due to the fact that civil servants receive a salary from the state, which means that you do not have to continue paying your wages. The possibility of canceling the salary would also be given, but the effort is correspondingly higher – the salary law would have to be changed for this.
There are also exceptions for medical reasons. Those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons will continue to receive their wages even during quarantine at home. A corresponding certificate must then be submitted for this. The same applies to people who have not received a vaccination recommendation up to eight weeks before the quarantine. For example, with pregnant women, where the Stiko currently recommends a corona vaccination from the second trimester of pregnancy.
