Berlin – The traffic light alliance of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP wants to let the epidemic situation expire on November 25th, but now the unvaccinated in particular are threatened with severe restrictions in public life!
According to an agreement between the three possible coalition partners, which is available to the German Press Agency, unvaccinated people without a negative test should no longer be allowed to use buses and trains in the future. In the future, in addition to the mask requirement, a 3G rule will apply in local and long-distance public transport: “Anyone who uses public transport must either be vaccinated, recovered or tested,” it was explained.
The three parties have agreed on a significant tightening of the planned amendment to the Infection Protection Act. In view of the dramatically increasing number of corona infections, contact restrictions should now also be able to be ordered, as the paper says.
Without this tightening of the previous plans, contact restrictions would no longer be possible after the legal status of the national epidemic situation expired on November 25th. Although the party alliance is sticking to the end of the special status, the federal states should be able to retain certain individual measures by resolution of their respective state parliament, including, for example, the restriction of leisure events. But exit bans are not one of them.
The amendment to the Infection Protection Act has already been introduced in the Bundestag. The hearing of experts, which is part of the legislative process, is scheduled for this Monday. Parliament is due to vote on Thursday.
