With the new Federal Infection Protection Act, the 3G rule in the workplace came into force.
This also affects supermarkets such as Rewe and Lidl.
Munich - The corona pandemic is in the middle of the fourth wave.
The number of infections is rolling over and over again every day - there is currently no end in sight.
For this reason, the federal government has renewed the Infection Protection Act.
This means that since yesterday, Wednesday (November 24th), all employees are only allowed to enter the workplace with the 3G rule.
In other words, all employees must be vaccinated, tested or recovered.
Kaufland and Lidl: The company clearly adheres to the 3G regulation in the workplace
This of course also applies to supermarkets and other retail companies.
For example for Kaufland and Lidl.
The Schwarz Group, to which the two grocery chains belong, commented on
Merkur.de as
follows: "Due to the current revision of the Infection Protection Act, access to the workplace is only allowed to employees with 3G status."

In contrast, however, visitors to the markets are not required to provide such evidence.
For example, Lidl rejected the introduction of a 2G rule for customers.
This means that employees are exposed to a higher risk of corona infection.
The Schwarz Group stated that it would “orientate itself exclusively to the ordinances of the federal states, the respective regionally valid general ordinances as well as the Corona occupational health and safety ordinance” and would implement them accordingly.
Rewe-Group comments on 3G in the workplace: comprehensive controls
The Rewe Group, which is based in Cologne and unites shopping chains such as Rewe, Penny and Toom under one roof, made a similar statement.
When asked by
Merkur.de
, a press spokesman said: "We fully comply with the statutory control and documentation obligations." This affects not only the central locations and storage locations, but also the markets.
“It is carried out by the responsible managers on site,” he continued.
