Germany introduces stricter restrictions on the unvaccinated
22:20
In Germany, the so-called 3G rule (Geimpfte, Genesene, Getestete) is already in force. It means that anyone who is in publicly accessible enclosed spaces must be vaccinated, cured, or have a negative coronavirus test. From October 11th, they will run out of free tests.
The testing obligation applies to visits to restaurants, cinemas, hairdressing salons, gyms, swimming pools, and sports halls, visits to hospitals, rehabilitation centers as well as nursing homes, and event participants. Also, those who stay in hotels must submit a negative test result, which must be repeated every third day of the stay.
There are exceptions, for example for students who are regularly tested and for young children.
Länder may suspend the application of these rules when the seven-day incidence in a federal state remains steadily below 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week.
It is still the responsibility of everyone, whether vaccinated, cured, or tested, to keep their distance and wear masks when shopping and on public transport.
The Robert Koch Institute reported 3,668 new cases of coronavirus infections on Monday. This is 1,542 more than on Monday a week ago when 2,126 new infections were recorded.
