The corona numbers in Germany are increasing rapidly.
The SPD, FDP and Greens now want to counter this with free tests, stricter penalties for vaccination pass forgers and restrictions in the workplace.
Berlin - 3G is getting closer to the workplace for employees in Germany.
According to a letter from, this regulation, according to which employees at work must be vaccinated, recovered or tested for Corona *, should come into play as part of the deliberations of the planned new Corona law by the SPD, Greens and FDP in the Bundestag SPD parliamentary group vice-president Dirk Wiese to the SPD MPs on Monday.
The SPD in the Bundestag made the letter public at the beginning of a parliamentary group meeting that evening.
The already announced return to free test options in Germany should also get back on track in the pandemic.
Corona: financial aid for clinics
In addition, there should be financial aid for clinics.
Corona booster vaccinations should also be recorded.
With these points mentioned in Wieses letter, a draft law of the traffic light partners on the possible corona measures in autumn and winter is to be supplemented.
This 44-page draft is intended to replace the previous legal basis for corona restrictions in Germany, the so-called epidemic situation of national scope.
It was also announced on Monday.
SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich defended that despite the dramatic corona situation, the epidemic situation should not be extended.
In view of the vaccination quota of around 70 percent, one must ask oneself whether serious, general encroachments on fundamental rights are still acceptable, said Mützenich.
Schools and shops should remain open
In the draft for the planned connection law, distance requirements, mask requirements, hygiene requirements for schools or universities, the obligation to submit proof of vaccination, recovery or test (2G or 3G), for example for events or restaurants, are further provided as options for the federal states - but not general closings of schools, shops or large-scale bans on cultural or sporting events.
