The RKI reported 194 new deaths on Wednesday.
So many people in one day have not died with or from the corona virus in Germany since the end of May.
According to Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), the fourth corona wave is rolling with "full force" and the burden in hospitals is increasing.
In view of this situation, the federal government is pushing for a federal-state summit - several federal states are already tightening their measures to contain the pandemic.
Unvaccinated people in particular have to adjust to stricter rules, and protection should be increased in care facilities.
What should apply where in the future?
It is a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," said Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder at a press conference on Wednesday and announced new measures
at.
Depending on how busy the hospitals are, there
will be stricter regulations for unvaccinated people
in
Bavaria in the
future.
From a Bavaria-wide occupancy of 450 intensive care beds, the so-called hospital traffic light should jump to yellow. As a result, FFP2 masks have to be worn again instead of simple medical masks. If the traffic light is yellow, 3G also becomes 3Gplus - in order to gain access to cultural or sporting events, people who have not been vaccinated must show a negative PCR test instead of a negative rapid test. If the traffic light is yellow, 2G could also apply to discos and clubs.
If there is a red light, if more than 600 intensive care beds are occupied, 2G can be expanded significantly, said Söder, at the workplace the 3G rule then applies when there are ten or more people in a room. The 3G plus rule applies to gastronomy when the traffic light is red. In addition, all Bavarian districts where the incidence is over 300 and intensive care bed occupancy over 80 percent are defined as hotspots in which the regulations of the red hospital traffic light apply. This currently affects 27 districts, says Söder.
In
Baden-Württemberg
, stricter rules for people without a corona vaccination will apply from this Wednesday: Those who have not been vaccinated or have recovered must now show an expensive PCR test for many leisure activities in closed rooms - for example in restaurants, cinemas, swimming pools, museums or in the canteen.
For unvaccinated people, contact restrictions will again apply in Baden-Württemberg in the future.
For example, meetings are now limited to one household and five other people.
Saxony
wants to make the 2G rule mandatory for restaurants and indoor events, for example.
Distance, masks and a limited number of visitors are to be included in the new regulation, on which the cabinet in Dresden is to finally decide at the end of the week, also at 2G
remain. So far, the rule has been an option to be able to hold events without these restrictions.
The 2G rule is also planned for major events such as soccer games and Christmas markets. Church services, on the other hand, are to be exempted from the tightening. Exceptions for children and adolescents and people who cannot be vaccinated remain in place. But you need a test. In the future, FFP-2 masks will have to be worn again in local public transport.
The state government has also appealed to companies to test employees regularly and encouraged them to make more home office possible again. There should be better protection in care facilities. In the future, all employees and not just the caregivers should be tested three times a week. With a seven-day incidence of 284.4, Saxony ranks second in Germany behind Thuringia. According to official information, the incidence of unvaccinated people in the state is even 600.
There
are also plans to tighten things up
in
Berlin
- not just for those who have not been vaccinated. The governing mayor Michael Müller (SPD) said after a meeting of the Senate on Tuesday. "We have achieved a lot, but we are nowhere near the point where we can say we can lean back." The current situation is worrying.
At the next meeting, the Senate will deal with what further measures need to be taken. This also included access restrictions for events and the topic of additional testing for vaccinated and convalescent people. Berlin's Senator for Health Dilek Kalayci (SPD) announced stricter controls of the 3G and 2G rules, for example in restaurants, by public order offices or the police.
In the future,
Rhineland-Palatinate
will have
fewer restrictions outdoors, faster booster vaccinations and stricter test requirements for unvaccinated personnel in hospitals and care facilities
.
For example, Martin's parades and Christmas markets can take place in the state without protective masks, distance and contact recording.
There is no limit to 25,000 spectators.
Unvaccinated staff in hospitals as well as old people's and nursing homes, on the other hand, will have to be tested daily in the future.
There should also be more frequent, sometimes daily, mandatory tests for health and nursing staff in
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
,
Brandenburg
and
Hesse
.
In
Brandenburg
, for example, there should be an upper number of 5000 visitors at Christmas markets.
People who do not live in a household must keep a minimum distance of 1.5 meters from one another.
Only at outdoor events with fewer than 1000 visitors do not 3G rules apply - unvaccinated people then have access even without a test, according to the »Potsdamer Neue Nachrichten«, for example.
