NRW no longer wants to watch the threatening increase in the number of corona infections: Even before the federal-state round to deal with the situation, the state cabinet 2G decides in the leisure sector.
Düsseldorf - Due to the sharp rise in corona numbers, access restrictions are to be introduced in North Rhine-Westphalia in the leisure area for adults who have not been vaccinated or have recovered. This was announced by Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting in Düsseldorf. In particularly sensitive areas, 2G plus should even apply - i.e. current tests also for vaccinated and convalescent people. This applies, among other things, to carnival sessions, said Wüst.
This week, numerous other top committees in the federal and state governments are discussing the tense corona situation: This Wednesday, Wüst will be teaching the NRW state parliament in a special session about its corona course.
On Thursday, the Prime Ministers of the federal states will discuss a uniform approach together with the Executive Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU).
North Rhine-Westphalia chairs the Conference of the Ministers Presidents (MPK).
Also on Thursday, the Bundestag will vote on a reform of the Infection Protection Act.
A special meeting of the Federal Council is planned for Friday.

Acquisition, feed, keeping: what does a horse cost?
Riding is a complex hobby, especially with your own horse.
Horse fans should therefore ask themselves a few questions before buying, for example: Which animal can I do justice to?
Acquisition, feed, keeping: what does a horse cost?
Last week, Wüst had already spoken out in favor of the federal and state governments agreeing, if possible, on a common “timetable for the winter months” at the MPK.
In his opinion, this should include a 2G regulation in the leisure sector and a 3G regulation in the workplace.
"3G" stands for vaccinated, recovered, tested.
The small government partner in the NRW coalition, the FDP, initially criticized the plans.
Opposition leader Thomas Kutschaty (SPD) then called on Wüst to assert himself in this “threatening situation” and to make use of his authority to issue guidelines.
According to the Robert Koch Institute on Tuesday, the number of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants reported within seven days in North Rhine-Westphalia rose again significantly.
The so-called seven-day incidence was therefore 176.6 (Monday: 167.0).
However, NRW was still well below the value of 312.4 calculated for the whole of Germany.
