In order to break the fourth corona wave, the federal and state governments should adopt measures that go beyond the previously applicable rules. This emerges from a draft resolution proposal for the Prime Minister's Conference, which was scheduled for Thursday at short notice. The document is available to SPIEGEL. It is not yet the final draft, the paper is still to be revised. Nevertheless, it becomes clear what the group will deal with - especially since many of the content-related points had already been discussed at the federal-state consultations on Tuesday.

If necessary, a current test can also be requested (2G Plus).

Bundestag should

decide

"promptly" about

.

This could come from around February - i.e. as soon as it can be ensured that all those willing to be vaccinated can be vaccinated immediately.

The ethics council should draw up a recommendation on this by the end of the year.

In addition, the federal government should initiate a facility-related vaccination requirement, for example for hospitals or care facilities for the elderly.

In

should be a mask requirement for all grade levels, according to the draft.

It is particularly emphasized in the draft that all of these regulations should represent national minimum standards in the future.

Regions that are particularly affected by the corona crisis should also be able to take further measures via state law.

Therefore, the Infection Protection Act is to be supplemented so that regions with 7-day incidences of over 350 can adopt additional regulations.
