For the first time, only those members who have been vaccinated, recovered or tested against the coronavirus will be admitted to the plenary session for the special session of the state parliament on Wednesday (11.30 a.m.).
The state parliament announced this on Wednesday morning.
If you don't want to comply with the so-called 3G rule as a member of parliament, you have to go to the visitors' gallery.
Düsseldorf - The background to the measure is the sharp rise in the number of new infections.
The special session itself also only revolves around Corona: Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) wants to inform the state parliament about the planned tightening in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Among other things, the so-called 2G rule - vaccinated or recovered - is to be introduced throughout the leisure sector.
According to the state parliament, the new regulation is based on a decision by the council of elders.
It should initially apply until November 26th.
“Even in the pandemic, parliaments are the central places of political debate.
There are face-to-face meetings almost every day.
We guarantee the best possible protection in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia.
That is why in Parliament what applies to all citizens applies: more safety through vaccinations and tests, ”said the President of the State Parliament, André Kuper.
