Corona: Kubicki becomes clear - "the most brazen and most devastating breach of word of this federal government"

Kubicki criticized compulsory vaccination through the back door: “The announcement that it will exclude unvaccinated people from visiting restaurants in the future is the most brazen and most devastating breach of word by this federal government, which has repeatedly sworn that there will be no compulsory vaccination in Germany. This breach of the word outweighs the disproportionate nature of this threatened vaccination requirement. ”The FDP politician also raised the question of why the federal government's plan applies to restaurants,“ but not also to talk shows, CDU party congresses or company meetings ”.

Kubicki also sees "a means of pressure to force people to vaccinate" in the end of free corona tests planned for mid-October.

That was "extremely unsocial", as the native of Braunschweig

explained to

the

Passauer Neue Presse

.

Health Minister Jens Spahn argues that by then every person willing to vaccinate would have been offered a vaccination, which is why the taxpayer would no longer need to assume the costs.

Only for people who cannot be vaccinated or for whom there is no general vaccination recommendation, such as pregnant women or children and adolescents, should there continue to be free rapid tests.

Kubicki countered the plans: “What should a family with two children do when they want to go to a restaurant?

Should she first put 48 euros on the table for tests? "

Corona in Germany: New Corona rules are likely to come - mask requirement "until spring 2022"

In a report from the ministry available to the German Press Agency, it says that further corona requirements are necessary to contain a new large wave of infections.

On August 10th, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) will consult with the Prime Minister on how to proceed in the pandemic.

The ministry report mentions continued compliance with hygiene measures and the need to wear a medical protective mask “until spring 2022”, especially in local and long-distance public transport and in retail - “for everyone, including those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered”.

With regard to protective measures, the ministry explains that vaccination and testing prevent people with a high and thus infectious viral load from entering a room with a high degree of probability.

"Therefore, regardless of the incidence, from the beginning / mid-September 2021 participation in certain events throughout Germany should generally only be possible if the 3G rule (3G: vaccinated, recovered or tested) is observed." , Sports and indoor events as well as large indoor and outdoor events.
