New plans for fourth wave
2G plus in everyday life, proof of vaccination at work
The rapid rate of infection also makes uncomfortable measures appear increasingly opportune. The incumbent federal government is now considering that employees must disclose their vaccination status at work.
The federal government is apparently tightening the previously planned measures against the corona pandemic. This emerges from a draft for the revision of the Infection Protection Act, which ntv.de is available. This also provides for much stricter controls at the workplace. Accordingly, employees must then disclose their vaccination status when they enter their workplace.
Anyone who has not been vaccinated or recovered needs a negative corona test every day. Employers should be given the right to information, for this purpose “personal data as well as data on the vaccination, sero and test status in relation to the Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19), may be processed,” says the draft. This should also apply to transports to and from the workplace.
In addition, a 2G plus regulation for events is now to be included. This means that certain events can only be attended by vaccinated and convalescent people with an additional negative corona test.
The draft amendments of the incumbent federal government relate to the revised Infection Protection Act and other laws to repeal the epidemic situation of national scope. The draft amendments are based on proposals made by the planned traffic light coalition made up of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP. The incumbent Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) also called for the 2G plus regulation. According to the draft, the following passage should be added to the Infection Protection Act: “The ordinance can provide that exemptions and exemptions for people who are expected to be immunized against the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus only exist if they are negative Being able to present the result of a test for an infection with the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus. “
The amendment emphasizes that those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered are infected much less frequently and are also less likely to be carriers of the coronavirus. Since they are themselves infectious for a much shorter period of time in the event of an infection, the risk of them emanating is significantly lower.
