In yesterday’s meeting, the Senate of Berlin decided on changes to the Infection Protection Measures Ordinance in order to make these changes in accordance with the agreements in the MPK adapt: www.berlin.de/rbmskzl/aktuelles/pressemitteilungen/2021/pressemitteilung.1116852.php
The (following) changes apply from Friday, August 20, 2021.
The decisive change is the introduction of the “3G” regulation for all indoor events: people must always be “vaccinated”, “recovered” or “tested”; this applies to all people, all previous personal limits from which a test is required is omitted. A distinction between participants and course instructors is therefore practically no longer necessary. However, the separate regulation in Section 27 (2) remains in place, stating that if there are several appointments per week, only 2 tests are required.
The 3G regulation is regulated in Section 11, Paragraph 8, with the wording: “Only people who have tested negative may take part in events in closed rooms.”
Vaccinated and convalescent people do not have to be tested (Section 8), the requirements for a negative test are regulated in Section 6.
In § 27 there is only the consequential change that pupils are generally excluded from “3G” (because they are already being tested in schools) and therefore no longer have to be listed separately in § 27. Text:
“Section 27 Other Educational Institutions
(1) At adult education centers and other institutions of general adult education, music schools, youth art schools, youth traffic schools, gardening schools and free institutions within the meaning of the Schools Act and similar educational institutions, a mask is required in closed rooms.
