Trade Union Confederation: Occupational safety is not a private matter
The German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) has warned against neglecting protection against corona infections in the workplace. “Occupational safety must not become a private matter for employees from the end of March,” said DGB board member Anja Piel to the newspapers of the Funke media group. “The pandemic is not over yet, and that’s why home office – where possible – remains a useful tool to limit contacts and thus the risk of infection.” At the same time, employees in companies must continue to be protected: by wearing masks indoors and closely monitoring the infection process through regular tests. Despite the increasing number of infections, looser rules should apply in Germany’s companies in a week from the beginning of spring. The draft regulation of the Federal Ministry of Labor provides that employers themselves should assess the risk of the coronavirus and define appropriate measures in a company hygiene concept.

CSU boss Söder criticizes federal plans for corona rules
Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) sees Germany exposed to new virus variants without protection with the federal government’s revised Infection Protection Act. The draft of the traffic light has real gaps and weaknesses, Söder told the “Bild am Sonntag”. “Basically, there are no longer any real protective measures. This means that we are defenseless and defenseless against new mutations in the fall. For example, largely omitting the mask is premature and can quickly lead to a so-called contamination at school, for example,” he said. Söder particularly criticized Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD). “The Federal Minister of Health is expecting new waves, and the traffic light will abolish all measures at the same time,” he said. “If the traffic light has its way, Corona will be history next week. But that’s not the reality.”
