Lockdown for the unvaccinated? First federal state is planning drastic measures

Life in Germany should be made more difficult for those who have not been vaccinated.

Baden-Württemberg is now planning appropriate measures.

Excessive, my reviewer.

Stuttgart - Unvaccinated adults have to expect tougher corona measures as early as the beginning of September.

In Baden-Württemberg, the Ministry of Health wants to tighten the reins now, and vigorously.

Contact restrictions for unvaccinated people are planned as early as September.

The reason: The number of Covid-19 patients in intensive care units in hospitals in the southwest is currently increasing sharply.

The development gives cause for concern.

"When 200 to 250 intensive care beds are occupied, we consider issuing initial contact restrictions for unvaccinated adults," said Uwe Lahl, head of the Ministry of Health, the dpa news agency.

According to the authorities, 102 Covid 19 patients were counted in the intensive care units on Friday.

According to forecasts by the State Health Office, these limit values ​​could be exceeded by the end of next week.

Baden-Württemberg is planning new corona rules for unvaccinated people

In the coming week, the state government therefore wants to publish a new corona regulation that regulates restrictions for non-vaccinated people.

A traffic light system is planned, as reported by the SWR.

According to the Ministry of Social Affairs, the traffic light system should depend on the number of corona patients in the intensive care units.

If the traffic light is green, the usual 3G rules (vaccinated, recovered and tested) should apply in Baden-Württemberg.

If the traffic light turns yellow, there should be contact restrictions in the private sector for people who have neither been vaccinated nor recovered.

Baden-Württemberg new corona traffic light: The 2G rule should apply from 300 corona intensive care patients

If the traffic light is red (300 Covid intensive care patients), there should be a 2G rule for restaurants and concerts, for example.

Unvaccinated people would then no longer have access.

There should be exceptions for pregnant women, for example.

Corona in Germany: is a lockdown fair for unvaccinated people?

The model met with approval.

Baden-Württemberg's head of state Thomas Strobl (CDU) explained in

Bild am Sonntag (BamS)

: “If it hits the intensive care units, you have to act.

It would be wrong then to hold everyone jointly liable, including those who have been vaccinated - that is why there will be different rules for those who have not been vaccinated than for those who have been vaccinated. "

Bavaria's Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) says in

BamS

: “Of course we have to think about future measures now, such as contact restrictions, which then have to come into force in order to protect the health system.

What is clear, however, is that those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered must regain their rights to freedom. "

Excessive contact restrictions for unvaccinated people?

Karl Lauterbach, on the other hand, considers the plan from Baden-Württemberg to be exaggerated. It is clear that measures must be taken for the unvaccinated, but he prefers the Hamburg model. “The proposal from Baden-Württemberg is more stringent because it also interferes with private life. We should only do that if the Hamburg variant is not enough, ”says the SPD health expert in BamS. Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) is

even clearer in his criticism

in the

BamS

. Considers these plans to be unconstitutional. Certainly there would be milder means than the "threatened measures of blanket contact restrictions for unvaccinated people". The party vice leads the tests. The number of corona cases in Germany increases relentlessly on Sunday * Also the number of Covid intensive care patients.
