The new Bundestag will hold its first session on October 26th.
Due to Corona, the 3G rule should apply in the plenary hall.
Some may then have to take a seat elsewhere.
Berlin - The new Bundestag will meet for the first time on October 26th. The constituent meeting should take place with a 3G rule: only MPs who have recovered, have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus or are currently tested are allowed to enter the plenary hall. This emerges from an email from the director at the German Bundestag to the offices of representatives. This was available to the German Press Agency.

The parliamentary groups have therefore made the decision on the 3G rule.
It goes on to say: "Members who do not disclose their immunization status and who do not want to be tested are given access to the seats available for this in the grandstands of the plenary chamber."
A voting booth and a voting urn would be available in the stands.
The opportunity to make speeches is also guaranteed there.
Corona trouble in the Bundestag: 3G sends MPs partly to the stands - bracelet should show vaccination status
In order to make the access control with the 3G rule as simple as possible, the MPs should obtain a wrist strap in advance of the meeting.
According to a survey by the Bundestag administration among parliamentarians, 514 members of the newly elected Bundestag are fully vaccinated according to their own information.
When asked whether you had complete vaccination against the virus, 22 answered no, and no answer was given 5. 541 of the 735 MPs took part in the survey.
The MPs, who have neither a full vaccination nor a convalescent status, were also asked whether they would be willing to be tested before the constituent session.
7 answered no.
