Berlin - The corona numbers are higher than ever since the beginning of the pandemic.
The federal and state governments will meet on Thursday to discuss the new measures to combat pandemics.
The first plans became known in the run-up to the Corona summit.
Traffic light parties agree on mandatory vaccination for nursing professions and contact restrictions
The traffic light parties agree on the subject of mandatory vaccination for several professions.
Green parliamentary leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt confirmed this on Monday.
However, there is a separate legislative procedure for this, the obligation to vaccinate is not part of the reform of the Infection Protection Act.
Robert Habeck, the co-chairman of the Greens, had announced a lockdown for unvaccinated people on Sunday evening.
Even after the epidemic situation has expired, the reform of the Infection Protection Act should be able to order contact restrictions.
Habeck had declared on Sunday evening in the “Tagesthemen” that the new law was not least more legally secure.
Further corona measures planned: "Actually lockdown for unvaccinated people"
In addition to the introduction of contact restrictions for unvaccinated people, the traffic light parties are planning 3G at work, mandatory home office, a country opening clause and a 3G rule for buses and trains.
In future, only those who have been vaccinated, recovered or tested should be allowed to ride.
“We will enable the countries to initiate 2G plus, 2G and 3G measures depending on the infection rate.
In addition, there are ultimately contact restrictions, especially for the unvaccinated and 3G at the workplace.
This is in fact a lockdown for unvaccinated people, which is being put on the way here, ”said the deputy chairman of the SPD parliamentary group, Dirk Wiese, on Monday in the“ ZDF morning magazine ”.
Restaurants and shops should remain open.
"We don't have to close any stores, the virologists also tell us that," said Green Party leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt on Monday in Berlin.
Bars, on the other hand, could potentially be closed.
Corona Infection Protection Act: "Shifting responsibility from the executive back to parliaments"
With the amendment to the Infection Protection Act, the traffic light parties want to give parliaments more responsibility again. If there is a resolution of the respective state parliament, the federal states can accordingly retain individual measures in the future. This includes, for example, the cancellation of cultural or sporting events. The focus is again on Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), who recently vehemently demanded more room for maneuver - partly to the lack of understanding of the traffic light parties.
With the help of the new plans, on the one hand, regionally different infection events could be combated very specifically, "on the other hand, we are shifting responsibility there from the executive back to the parliaments", so the reasons given by the possible coalition partners FDP, SPD and Greens.
The amendment to the Infection Protection Act has already been introduced in the Bundestag, which is why the tightening that has now been agreed must be added retrospectively.
FDP politicians disagree about how to deal with unvaccinated people
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, member of the FDP executive committee, emphasized in an interview with
Die
Welt
that “the 2G rules only work if there is control.” If unvaccinated people try to gain access with other ID cards or vaccination passports, they have to there are correspondingly draconian punishments. "People who refuse to be vaccinated must be aware that they are not allowed to terrorize the majority as a minority and are therefore confronted with appropriate rules."
Her party colleague, FDP vice-president Wolfgang Kubicki, sees it differently: He does not degrade the unvaccinated to "second-class people and declare that they are to blame for the pandemic," said Kubicki in an interview with
Spiegel
on Saturday.
He suggests not distinguishing between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, because the danger would come from infected people, not unvaccinated people.
“That is why it is legally a problem to say: Vaccinated people are allowed in everywhere without a test, unvaccinated people have to be tested everywhere - or they don't come in at all, not even with a negative test.
We have to treat both groups equally, ”continues Kubicki.
"These serious encroachments on fundamental rights must be ended, Parliament must regain control over the corona policy." (
