Federal election in the corona pandemic: does the 3G rule also apply in Bavaria's polling stations?

But does this also apply to Bavarian polling stations? The answer: no. Because the currently valid fourteenth Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance does not establish any access restrictions to polling stations and registration rooms for people who have not been vaccinated, recovered or tested. "This means that you do not need to present a vaccination, recovery or test certificate in order to be allowed to enter polling stations," a spokeswoman for the Bavarian Ministry of Health told

Regardless of this, it is mandatory to wear a mask in buildings and closed rooms.

“At least one medical face mask must be worn”, so there is no FFP2 * obligation.

In addition, everyone is encouraged - wherever possible - to keep a minimum distance of 1.5 meters from other people and to ensure adequate hand hygiene.
