3G rule in the workplace definitely in place
timeline
The 3G rule in the workplace will finally come into effect on Monday after the two-week transition period has expired. An FFP2 mask therefore no longer counts as a substitute for proof that you have been vaccinated, recovered or tested.
Employees and also company owners When? You have to either
- have been fully immunized in the past nine months
- recovered in the past 180 days, including six months
- or have a negative corona test result from an antigen test done in the past 24 hours or from a PCR test done in the past 72 hours.
Penalties are imminent for violations
This evidence can also be checked by the authorities. If the rule is not observed, both the employee and the employer face penalties.
The only exception is for people who die every day in their job. This may apply to truck drivers, for example.
In some areas, the 2.5G rule applies
The 2.5G rule is tightening in some areas. This means that antigen tests are valid – this is the case, for example, in night restaurants or in care facilities.
