District - In contrast to adults in Bavaria, 12 to 17-year-olds can still participate in indoor sports on December 31 of this year, even when the Corona traffic light is red, due to the regular tests in the school (exception to 2G).
When the Corona traffic light switched to red, the 12- to 17-year-olds were threatened with the use of the 2G regulation for indoor sports - access only for those who have recovered and who have been vaccinated.
A regulation that would have hit twelve to seventeen year olds particularly hard.
Mihai Paduretu, managing director of TSV Unterhaching, one of the largest sports clubs in the Munich district, said yesterday: “The doctors, virologists and politicians have to make the decisions.
At TSV we have around 550 members between the ages of 12 and 16 and another 150 between 17 and 18 years of age. We don't know spontaneously how many of them have been vaccinated or recovered, we won't be able to find out until the next few days. ”Paduretu should be early be that politicians have found at least an interim solution that allows unvaccinated children to exercise.
BLSV asks for vaccination
"We pointed out the hardships faced by twelve to seventeen-year-olds, especially when exercising their sport, due to the tightening of the Corona regulations," says the President of the BLSV, Jörg Ammon. Nevertheless, vaccination is and will remain the only way out of the pandemic: “We continue to campaign for everyone who can be vaccinated to be vaccinated. Also children and young people from the age of twelve. We have supported the Free State's vaccination campaign from the start. Vaccination, vaccination, vaccination is the only measure that will free us from the grip of the pandemic, ”appeals Ammon.
"It is our goal that children and young people as a whole get or stay in sport and exercise again", says Michael Weiß, the chairman of the Bavarian Sports Youth in the BLSV.
“Therefore, the exception to the 2G regulation is important and correct for the twelve to seventeen year olds, because it means that indoor sport remains possible for this age group.
And he is also safe thanks to the regular tests at school. ”Now it is important to motivate many young people between the ages of 12 and 18 to get vaccinated by December 31, so that indoor exercise and sports are still possible in January , so the BLSV in its press release.
