2G, 2G option model, 3G or 3G plus?

What applies where?

And when?

Each federal state relies on its own corona measures.

The rules of the individual countries at a glance.

Berlin - The course for the Corona winter will be set these days.

On Thursday (November 18), the federal and state governments will decide on further measures at the Corona summit.

A possible vaccination requirement in various professions, travel restrictions and other preventive measures for the winter are already being hotly debated in advance.

In view of the overlapping reports, it is currently not easy to maintain an overview of the rules - especially because different requirements apply in the individual federal states: 2G, 2G option model, 3G or 3G plus.

The differences in the patchwork are big.

An overview:

Corona rules in Bavaria: This applies in the Free State from Tuesday, November 16

In view of the dramatically increasing corona numbers in

Bavaria

, the Bavarian cabinet has decided to stricter rules from Tuesday (November 16).

When the hospital traffic light is red - as is currently the case - only those who have been vaccinated and recovered (2G) have access to restaurants, hotels and other accommodation providers.

An alternative PCR test will no longer be sufficient in the future.

The 2G rule has been in effect for theaters, cinemas, museums, swimming pools and other leisure facilities since last week - an exception applies to children under the age of 12 who have not yet been vaccinated.

For body-hugging services such as hairdressing, 3G plus remains the same - unvaccinated people still have access, but only with a negative PCR test.

According to the Ministry of Health, students who are tested regularly are considered tested, so they do not need a negative PCR test at the hairdresser's.

"Alert" in Baden-Württemberg: These rules will probably apply from Wednesday, November 17th

In

Baden-Württemberg

, the so-called alert level should come into force in the middle of the week - it applies if the value of 390 Covid patients in the intensive care units is reached or exceeded two days in a row. In this case, the Corona Ordinance provides for the 2G rule nationwide, for example in restaurants, museums, at exhibitions and at most other public events.

Those who are not vaccinated and can only show one test are left out in the cinema, swimming pool or fitness studio, in adult education courses and music schools.

There are exceptions, for example, for public transport and religious events.

Even in retail, the 3G alert does not require a PCR test.

Basic supply shops such as supermarkets, outdoor markets and pick-up and delivery offers are also excluded.

The Ministry of Health assumed on Monday that the stricter rules will take effect from Wednesday.

Corona rules in Berlin and Brandenburg: This has been in effect since Monday, November 15

Extensive 2G rules

have been in effect in the capital

Berlin

since Monday (November 15)

. Only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered have access to restaurants, cinemas, theaters, museums or galleries, for example; a negative test is no longer enough. The new rules also affect leisure facilities such as saunas and thermal baths or amusement facilities such as amusement arcades, as well as closed rooms in amusement parks or in the Berlin zoo as well as in the zoo. 2G also applies to visits to the hairdresser. This does not apply to people who have not yet reached the age of 18. A proven negative corona test is still sufficient for them.

In

Brandenburg

,

too

, the 2G rule has been in effect in restaurants, hotels, cinemas, theaters, discos, clubs and festivals since Monday (November 15).

There is an exception for under 18-year-olds with a negative test and for those who cannot be vaccinated.

Current corona rules in Bremen and Hamburg: Big differences in the north

The lowest warning level 0 has been in effect

in the city of

Bremen

since the end of October. This means that the 3G rule is no longer applicable indoors.

The 2G rule is an option for higher warning levels.

Restaurants, theaters, clubs or even music schools and sports facilities may use them.

Hamburg introduced

a 2G option model for public facilities such as restaurants, bars, cinemas and theaters back

in August

. Since then, their operators have been able to restrict access to vaccinated and convalescents on a voluntary basis - otherwise the 3G rule applies there. The 2G option was later expanded to include retail and body-hugging services like hairdressers. Excluded from the regulation are offers for daily needs such as supermarkets or pharmacies as well as educational institutions and institutions for social participation. Because of the rapidly increasing corona numbers, the Senate wants to restrict voluntariness in some areas on Tuesday. 2G should then become mandatory in restaurants, bars, clubs, but also in indoor recreational sports.

Corona: Hessen relies on the 3G rule - but organizers have a decisive option

Those who have not been vaccinated or recovered have to

present a current PCR test

in

Hesse

since Thursday (November 11th) to participate in 3G events or when entering many 3G facilities.

Organizers also have the option of only admitting those who have been vaccinated and tested.

3G rules now also apply to companies with employees who have contact with external customers at work.

According to the new requirements, a maximum of ten percent of the visitors will be able to be tested at large 3G events with more than 5000 participants.

The rest must either be vaccinated or have recovered.

Corona in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: is the 2G rule coming this week?

The

2G rule applies to

cities and districts in

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

that reach the third of four warning levels ("orange") on the state's own Corona warning traffic light.

This does not work anywhere so far, but that could change this week.

Children under the age of 12 are exempt from 2G;

for 12 to 17 year olds this applies until the end of the year.

However, 7 to 17 year olds must submit a daily test.

A 2G option model has been in effect for some time in pubs, restaurants and at events: if only vaccinated and genesis patients have access, many protective measures may be omitted, whereas in cinemas the 3G rule always applies.

Corona rules in Lower Saxony: 2G is to be expanded further

Lower Saxony:

The option for 2G applies in many areas - for example for restaurants, culture or larger events.

A revised Corona ordinance has been in effect since Thursday (November 11), according to which 2G is mandatory for events with more than 1000 people indoors and in indoor catering from lower warning levels.

These levels have not yet been reached nationwide.

According to Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD), the 2G regulation will be expanded further - but he did not provide details on which areas should be included and when the expansion should come on Friday.

Corona: North Rhine-Westphalia relies on the 3G rule, but also allows municipalities to choose 2G

In

North Rhine-Westphalia

, the 3G rule generally applies in hospitals, museums and indoor restaurants.

The 3G plus rule is mandatory for discos or indoor parties with dancing.

If you have not been vaccinated or have not recovered, you must have a PCR test or a rapid test, whereby the rapid test must not be more than six hours old.

If you want to go to the hairdresser or the pub with a PCR test, it can only be 24 hours old, previously it was 48 hours.

The municipalities are also allowed to introduce stricter measures.

Many have already imposed 2G rules for their Christmas markets.

Corona rules in Rhineland-Palatinate: No mask, no distance, but 2G plus

Rhineland-Palatinate:

The state has been relying on the so-called 2G-plus regulation for a long time.

Accordingly, the number of approved, unvaccinated people is limited and will be further reduced if, for example, the seven-day incidence or sickness occupancy exceeds certain thresholds.

In indoor catering, for example, there is no longer a requirement to wear a mask or a distance requirement if no more than 25 unvaccinated people are present.

The contact restrictions in public spaces have generally been lifted.

"Saarland-Plus-Modell": These corona rules currently apply

In

Saarland

, the Saarland Plus model with extensive 3G regulations applies to indoor areas in restaurants, leisure facilities and sporting events, for example.

In view of the sharply rising corona numbers, Saarland's Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU) announced on Monday that the measures would be tightened.

In the interior, the 2G rule should apply in the future.

For the outdoor area, Hans wanted to “keep an eye on the 3G rule”.

He will make a corresponding proposal on Tuesday (November 16) in the Council of Ministers, said Hans.

Corona rules in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt: Comprehensive 2G rule

Saxony:

Since the beginning of last week, the Free State has been the first state to use the 2G rule extensively against the rapidly increasing corona numbers.

Only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered are allowed to go to restaurants, pubs or discos; a negative test is not enough.

There is a lot of grumbling about this, especially among innkeepers.

In

Saxony-Anhalt

, the 3G rule should be implemented consistently or the organizers should opt for the 2G option themselves.

The state government justifies its approach with the fact that it is still unclear what will apply after the "epidemic emergency of national scope", which is planned for the end of November, has expired.

Schleswig-Holstein: The 3G rule still applies - the state government is considering switching to 2G

Schleswig-Holstein:

The 3G rule generally applies to indoor events.

There is then no mask requirement.

However, it is still compulsory to wear a mask on buses and trains as well as when shopping.

The state government is now considering switching to the 2G model for larger indoor events.

This week we will discuss specific areas.

Corona in Thuringia: Will the 2G rule come on Tuesday, November 16?

In

Thuringia

, the municipalities should introduce a 2G or 3G plus model in the highest corona warning level three.

3G plus means: Anyone who has not been vaccinated or recovered needs a negative PCR test, a rapid antigen test is not enough.

However, a number of districts and cities did not implement this for a long time.

On Tuesday (November 16), the cabinet will advise on the nationwide introduction of 2G in certain areas such as restaurants and accommodation providers.

The new regulation should apply by Wednesday (November 17) at the latest, as Interior Minister Georg Maier (SPD) announced.
