Green parliamentary group leader Hofreiter accuses the government of vaccinations.
Berlin - The chairman of the World Medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, calls for stricter Corona - * - restrictions and a preference for vaccinated people.
Increasing the vaccination rate with the help of mobile offers is not enough, according to Montgomery.
“Unvaccinated people would then have to show a current PCR test.
A simple quick test should no longer be enough, ”said Montgomery.
Such an extended 2G rule could create the necessary incentive to get vaccinated against Sars-CoV-2.

Corona in Germany: SPD warns of restrictions in schools and daycare centers
From the point of view of SPD * parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich, schools must remain exempt from such measures. “Based on the experience of the past year and a half with the pandemic, schools and daycare centers have absolute priority. Schools and daycare centers must not be restricted again, ”said Mützenich of the Rheinische Post. "We have to get better at vaccinating, and the vaccine * for the small children has to come too." If the warning values rise again strongly in autumn and winter, he hopes for flexibility in the companies so that restrictions in schools and daycare centers can be avoided .
Above all, the increasing numbers of infections among schoolchildren are currently causing concern.
"In fact, the infection rate in the age group that goes to schools is currently particularly violent," said the President of the German Teachers' Association, Heinz-Peter Meidinger, of the Passauer Neue Presse.
But that does not mean that the corresponding schools have to be closed immediately, according to Meidinger.
