In addition, President of the Bundestag Bas informs about the 2G plus rule, which now also applies in the Bundestag. From now on, being vaccinated twice or recovering is no longer enough.
For the 736 members of the Bundestag, their employees and other members of parliament, the new rules specifically mean: Anyone who has only been vaccinated twice or has recovered needs an additional negative test for access to the plenary hall or committee meetings. Those who have been boosted or have recovered with a double vaccination do not need this. In addition, FFP2 masks must be worn in the Bundestag from now on. Surgical masks are no longer sufficient.
MEPs who have neither been vaccinated nor recovered can continue to watch the meetings from the stands – but from now on only if they present a current negative test.
