Hamburg introduces the 2G option, Baden-Württemberg is considering a lockdown for unvaccinated people.
The discussion about corona restrictions is picking up speed.
Berlin - The corona numbers in Germany are currently increasing.
The nationwide seven-day incidence is now 74.1 - a week ago the value was 54.5.
The number of Covid-19 patients who have to be treated in intensive care units also rose to over 1000 for the first time in the fourth wave.
Discussions about restrictions on unvaccinated people are the result.
Corona restrictions for unvaccinated people: Baden-Württemberg is considering lockdown
Baden-Württemberg is the first federal state to plan appropriate measures.
A lockdown only for unvaccinated adults seems possible.
"When 200 to 250 intensive care beds are occupied, we consider issuing initial contact restrictions for unvaccinated adults," explained Uwe Lahl, head of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Health, to the German Press Agency.
Exaggerated - at least thinks SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach.
It is clear that measures must be taken for the unvaccinated.
“But I prefer the Hamburg model.
The proposal from Baden-Württemberg is sharper because it also interferes with private life.
We should only do that if the Hamburg variant is not enough, ”said Lauterbach in
Bild am Sonntag
.
Corona: Baerbock wants more freedom for those who have been vaccinated and recovered - Hamburg's 2G model as an example
A 2G option model, which is unique in Germany, has been in effect in Hamburg since Saturday (August 28).
If only those who have been vaccinated and who have recovered attend an event, almost all corona requirements are no longer applicable.
Organizers or hosts can decide whether they want to go this route or continue to use the 3G model - i.e. also accept current tests.
Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock also spoke out in favor of those who have been vaccinated and recovered should be given more freedom than those who have not been vaccinated.
If someone is not in solidarity with children or the chronically ill, "then he or she cannot expect everyone else to forego their freedom," Baerbock told the newspapers of the
Funke media group
.
She named the Hamburg 2G model as a positive example.
This also increases the incentive to get vaccinated, said the Green Chancellor candidate.

Discussion about corona restrictions for unvaccinated people is picking up speed
The Bavarian Minister of Health, Klaus Holetschek, did not rule out the possibility that there could also be a 2G model in Bavaria in the future. "We currently have a pandemic of the unvaccinated," said the CSU politician on Friday (August 27). "And when I see that from the end of July to mid-August around 85 percent of all Covid 19 patients treated in Bavarian hospitals were unvaccinated, that speaks a really very clear language," Holetschek continues.
According to the Greens health expert Janosch Dahmen, if the number of corona infections continues to rise, greater restrictions should apply to unvaccinated people.
"Before all people are sent back into a more comprehensive lockdown, it is right to differentiate here between people who are better protected by vaccinations and people without any form of immunity," he told the newspapers of the
Funke media group
.
He called for a “specific, uniform plan”, from which limit values, for example, for visits to public events, instead of the so-called 3G rule, only a 2G rule should apply.
Corona restrictions: FDP wants to adhere to the 3G regulation and tests
There is criticism of restrictions for unvaccinated people from the FDP.
"There are certainly milder means than the now threatened measure of blanket contact restrictions for unvaccinated people, such as tests," said Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki.
The parliamentary managing director of the FDP parliamentary group, Marco Buschmann, also criticized the 2G models.
"There are smarter barriers to infection than simply locking people away, pushing them out of public life or even paralyzing public life itself," he told
Tagesspiegel
.
The FDP continues to stand by the 3G regulation.
