Berlin
- The three parties of the Ampel-Koalition, SPD *, FDP * and Greens *, want to present a
legal basis for the further fight against the Corona * pandemic
this Monday, November 8th
.
On November 25, the special status of the epidemic situation of national scope expires.
Now a solution is to be presented that enables the federal states to react to regional hotspots with measures.
Green parliamentary group leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt rejected an extension on the ARD program “Anne Will” on Sunday evening and emphasized that a solution was necessary that was sufficient and also legally secure in view of the majority of vaccinated people in Germany.
Traffic light parties are planning new anti-corona measures: Compulsory daily tests in old people's and nursing homes
Important cornerstones in the draft of the coalition partners are above all regulations on the offer of corona tests *. Among
other things, a daily test obligation for employees and visitors in nursing homes is to be introduced, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or recovered. The board of directors of the German Foundation for Patient Protection, Eugen Brysch, called on the
picture
to implement this immediately and not to wait until November 25th. In addition, the obligation to test must also apply to the millions of people who are cared for in outpatient care at home, in addition to the homes.
The traffic light parties want to dispense with a nationwide 2G rule. Göring-Eckardt did not want to comment on details of the new regulation to Anne Will. A nationwide 2G rule, i.e. access only for vaccinated and convalescent people in all public facilities and areas, cannot be legally enforced nationwide in their view. Meanwhile, Saxony, as one of the federal states with the highest incidence and the lowest vaccination rate in Germany, has already implemented the 2G rule. From this Monday on, only those who have been vaccinated or have recovered will be allowed access to many areas of public life, such as indoor catering, cultural and leisure facilities or football stadiums. Bavaria has already tightened its regulations. Only those who have been vaccinated have access to inns and events in closed rooms.Recovered and people with a negative PCR test.
Avoid nationwide 2G rule: intensive care physicians fear collapse in German hospitals
The Greens and FDP also advocated offering corona citizen tests free of charge again in the winter half-year.
FDP parliamentary group manager Marco Buschmann described the abolition of the free tests as a mistake.
The reintroduction could help to interrupt chains of infection more quickly.
According to Janosch Dahmen, health policy spokesman for the Greens, it is important that the results can be reliably viewed and accessed digitally via QR code.
Meanwhile, there is growing concern in hospitals that the intensive care units will actually be overloaded across regions.
Christian Karagiannidis, scientific head of the intensive care register of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and Emergency Medicine (Divi), expressed
his concern
in an interview with the
Augsburger Allgemeine
that the number of Covid patients in German intensive care units would continue to rise so sharply could double in the coming weeks.
On Monday morning, the nationwide seven-day incidence per 100,000 inhabitants climbed to the record level of 201.1.
