According to a report, the health ministers will meet on Monday to discuss the corona rules in Germany.
The focus should be on the workplace.
Munich / Berlin - The vaccination rate against Corona is significantly higher in Germany than initially assumed.
That was what the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said last.
The number of people vaccinated against the virus at least once was estimated at 84 percent of adults.
And yet politicians are apparently not yet thinking of a so-called "Freedom's Day" on which all corona restrictions in the Federal Republic could fall.
On the contrary: According to a report, the next federal-state round of health ministers will meet with Jens Spahn (CDU) on Monday (October 11) to discuss new corona rules.

Accordingly, the topic of the workplace should be the focus of the consultations.
New corona rules for Germany?
Health ministers advise
Specifically: According to
Business Insider
, employees in companies with public traffic should be obliged to test.
This would include retail, for example.
Thus, the so-called 3G regulation would also apply here, according to which only those who have been vaccinated, who have recovered or who have tested negative for Corona are allowed to go to the corresponding workplace with customer contact.
The
Business Insider
quoted from an alleged draft decision: "The countries agree that the now regulated in many states 3G documentation requirements as a condition for access to businesses, institutions or other offers direct contact with customers, not only for customers, visitors or other external persons, but should also apply to employees. "

It goes on to say that "the frequency of test reports and the possibility of equivalent alternative measures can be decided individually for each area".
The federal states would strive for a "fundamentally uniform approach".
But: Apparently, the federal states should decide for themselves whether they include a corresponding test requirement in state law.
In September, individual countries refused to introduce compulsory tests for employees.
Health ministers meet: expansion of the 3G regulation in Germany?
Will the 3G regulation also come regionally at the workplace, after it has already been applied to the interior of the restaurant business, for example?
Spahn had previously stated that despite a higher vaccination rate, measures such as 3G in autumn and winter would still be necessary.
The coming round will be exciting in any case.
Once more.
