The state of Baden-Württemberg now wants to introduce the 2G rule for 12 to 17-year-olds, which should also have far-reaching consequences for families.
With the new Corona regulation, which is due to come into force next Thursday, schoolchildren of that age must either be vaccinated or recovered in order to gain access to restaurants, said a spokesman for the state government in Stuttgart on Friday.
Stuttgart - With the measure, the state wants to ensure that many more young people are vaccinated in order to curb the rapidly increasing number of infections.
However, there should be a transitional rule for the leisure sector such as sports and educational offers, which should apply until after the Christmas holidays.
So far, unvaccinated young people only have to show their student ID and are exempt from the 2G rule and the obligation to carry out a PCR test.
They are tested at school two to three times a week.
The Standing Vaccination Committee has had a vaccination recommendation for the 12 to 17 age group since the summer.
