Update from December 22nd, 10 a.m.: The

federal and state governments agreed on further contact restrictions on Tuesday.

You can find an overview of all resolutions here.

Update from December 21, 3:30 p.m .:

In view of the Omikron danger, the Union-led federal states and the green-ruled Baden-Württemberg are putting pressure on the federal government to promote the general compulsory vaccination. The occurrence of the corona virus variant Omikron increases the "urgency" of the introduction of a general vaccination requirement, which is being considered for February 2022, according to a draft resolution of the so-called B countries for the corona summit. The draft is available to the German Press Agency. The Union states ask the Ampel-Bundesregierung to press ahead with the preparations and to “present a schedule at short notice”. According to dpa information, the draft was worked out during preliminary talks between the B countries on Tuesday. The heads of government of all countries will not vote on the final decision paper until the afternoon with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD).

Before the Corona summit: RKI calls for "maximum contact restrictions"

Update from December 21, 2:55 p.m .:

There could soon be more restrictions for vaccinated and genesis patients too: According to a resolution proposal for the Prime Minister's Conference, stricter contact rules should apply “at the latest” from December 28, and especially on New Year's Eve

(see update from December 20 , 7:17 p.m.

).

There may not be any nationwide adjusted personal limits for Christmas.

A point that the Robert Koch Institute does not seem to like.

At least before the meeting, it published several measures that start "immediately" and should last until at least mid-January 2022.

  • Maximum contact restrictions

  • Maximum infection preventive measures

  • Maximum speed with vaccinations

  • Travel only where absolutely necessary

  • Accompanying communication to understand the measures

What the word “maximum” actually means is still unclear.

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder, among others, was “extremely irritated” by the RKI tweet.

Corona summit: draft resolution revised again

Update from December 20, 7:17 p.m.:

Those who have been vaccinated and recovered in Germany will also have tougher corona rules. These are to be discussed on Tuesday at a prime ministerial conference. A first draft resolution brought the first new rules into play. But now there is apparently a new paper. According to

Business Insider

, the heads of the state chancellery agreed on Monday after informal discussions on adjustments to the first submission.

  • Contact restrictions

    : Vaccinated and convalescent people should only be allowed to meet ten people from December 28th.

    However, this upper limit should no longer apply in the outdoor area.

    The first adjustment.

    Children under 14 are not included.

    If an unvaccinated person is present, the rules for unvaccinated persons apply (only with your own household and two people).

  • Ghost games

    : The next change concerns sports and cultural events.

    While upper limits were mentioned in the first paper, it now says that viewers should not be allowed at all.

    This should also apply from December 28th.

  • Bars and clubs

    are slated to close indoors from December 28th.

    Dance events should also be banned.

    The aim is to prevent New Years Eve parties.

Corona summit: draft resolution seeps through!

Contact restrictions planned for everyone

Initial report:

Berlin - The corona rules in Germany will probably be tightened again shortly before Christmas.

On Tuesday (December 21), the federal and state governments will discuss the specific measures in a summit scheduled at short notice.

It can be assumed that the contact restrictions will be readjusted again.

Parts of the regulations should also apply to vaccinated people - at least this can be found in a draft resolution that has been published in advance.

Corona summit: draft resolution available!

The federal and state governments are planning strict contact restrictions

Stricter regulations should continue to apply to unvaccinated people. They are excluded from parts of public life. "Nationwide, access to facilities and events for cultural and leisure activities (cinemas, theaters, restaurants, etc.) as well as retail (exception: shops for daily needs) remains independent of the incidence only for vaccinated and convalescent people (2G)", it says in the resolution

proposal, quoted from

Focus Online

on Monday afternoon. In addition, the 2GPlus regulation is also possible. Then an additional corona test is needed.

In addition, the federal and state governments apparently want to adhere to the strict contact rules for unvaccinated people.

This means: If an unvaccinated person is present at private meetings, only members of your own household and a maximum of two people from another household are allowed to meet.

In addition, the obligation to test remains in the work area and public transport.

These regulations were already decided at the beginning of December.

Proposed resolution for the Corona summit: From December 28, contact restrictions also for vaccinated people

Planned contact restrictions for vaccinated people are new and therefore central to the paper.

Larger meetings should be prevented, said NRW Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU).

"In particular, New Year's Eve celebrations with a large number of people are not responsible in the current situation," says the draft resolution.

Therefore, from December 28, 2021, private gatherings of vaccinated and convalescent people should only be allowed with a maximum of ten people.

If a person is unvaccinated at a meeting, the regulations for unvaccinated persons apply. “The meeting is therefore limited to your own household and a maximum of two people from another household.” This rule “applies to private meetings both indoors and outdoors”. The previous Corona rules on New Year's Eve also remain in place: contact restrictions, arrival and meeting bans, no sale of fireworks.

At major events, the number of visitors will continue to be limited. The specific design is probably the responsibility of the federal states. Currently, the rules in Bavaria are different from those in North Rhine-Westphalia. No spectators are allowed to watch football matches in Munich, 15,000 in Cologne. Clubs and discos will be closed nationwide. In addition, the federal and state governments want to advise on the vaccination campaign and stimulate bridging aid for companies.

The Federal Government's Expert Council has already requested contact restrictions in the near future.

"According to the mathematical models, an overload of the health system and the restriction of the critical infrastructure can only be contained together with strong contact reductions," says a letter from the 19-member committee.

The federal and state governments are already working on an "emergency plan" to relieve the critical infrastructure.

The following corona summit is scheduled to take place in January.
