New corona rules come into force in the southwest

The state government has tightened the test requirement for company employees.

At the same time, there are easing measures for larger events - football games, for example, benefit from this.

Stuttgart - In the southwest, new corona rules came into force this Friday.

For unvaccinated employees in companies with public traffic, the state's Corona regulation provides for a more stringent test requirement in the future.

Employees in restaurants or hairdressing salons, for example, have to be tested for the coronavirus twice a week; vaccinated and recovered employees are exempt from this obligation.

So far, such a test obligation has only applied to unvaccinated employees with external contact if the corona situation in the south-west has worsened significantly.

In addition, the so-called 2G option model comes into force, which has been around for some time in some federal states.

This eliminates the mask requirement and distance rules at larger events if only vaccinated and convalescent are allowed.

There can also be full halls and football stadiums again.

Previously, there was an upper limit for major events of a maximum of 25,000 visitors under 3G conditions.
