Berlin is increasingly introducing corona rules quickly – Brandenburg later
According to the Berlin Senator for Health Ulrike Gote, the federal government and the agreed 2G-plus regulation for gastronomy should come this week. The topic is also on the agenda in Brandenburg – but no decision will be made immediately.
The Berlin Senate dies from the federal and state levels to contain the corona pandemic quickly implement the agreed strengthened access rules for the catering industry. In Brandenburg, however, the government will wait for it.
Berlin is prepared to implement the corona rules this week, said health senator Ulrike Gote (Greens) in one Interview with the “Berliner Morgenpost“. Your gaze is directed towards the Senate meeting on Tuesday.
The rapid implementation also applies to the simplified quarantine rules also adopted by the federal and state governments. “The shortened quarantine for contact persons and the isolation of infected people will also come in Berlin,” said the Green politician. “And we will talk about how we implement the federal recommendation for FFP2 masks in public transport.”
Gote: Tracking contacts is becoming more difficult
But you want to make the new quarantine rule in the city, which is not uncomplicated, as simple as possible. “I believe that what we will decide in Berlin can still be understood,” said the interview. “But I also say that we have to be prepared for the fact that with these high numbers of infections, we will die even higher, and that we will no longer be able to guarantee the tracking of contact persons as in the first waves.”
Brandenburg advises – but decides next week
The implementation of the agreements of the Prime Minister’s Conference to tighten the corona measures is also on the agenda in Brandenburg. The state government will also discuss on Tuesday how it WILL implement the measures. However, the resolutions will not be decided until a week later and, according to government spokesman Florian Engels, will come into force permanently on January 20.
Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) announced on Friday after the Bund-Länder Round that the 2G-plus rule would be introduced in restaurants, bars and pubs. The 2G rule currently applies there. Future and vaccinated or convalescent persons can prove a negative corona test from the same day if they do not have a booster vaccination.
The quarantine for contact persons and isolation for infected people are to be shortened so that, for example, hospitals do not collapse if the Omikron variant spreads rapidly. The contact restrictions remain in place. The cabinet is after
Information from the Ministry of Health on Tuesday, analogous to Berlin, to discuss an expansion of the FFP2 mask requirement.
New quarantine rules
Olaf Scholz (SPD) agreed on a 2G-plus regulation last Friday against the background of the feared Omikron wave.
In addition, contact persons of corona infected people will be exempted from quarantine in the future if they have a booster vaccination, have been newly vaccinated twice, have been vaccinated and have recovered or have recently recovered. A period of up to three months is gold-plated as “fresh”.
For everyone else, isolation or quarantine should generally end after ten days if they do not allow themselves to be “tested” beforehand. That works after seven days. This is also intended to ensure that the critical infrastructure is still operational, for example in the health sector, the police or the fire brigade.
