The incident: Coronavirus: Information from the State of North Rhine-Westphalia
The North Rhine-Westphalian state government has adapted the Corona Protection Ordinance to the current developments in infection and pandemic events in North Rhine-Westphalia. It comes into force on Wednesday, November 24, 2021 and is initially valid up to and including December 21, 2021. All rules, the exact wording of the Corona Protection Ordinance and answers to frequently asked questions can be found at: www.land.nrw/corona The most important regulations For North Rhine-Westphalia at a glance: Introduction of the 2G rule in the culture and leisure sector Visiting events and facilities in the culture, sports and leisure sector is only permitted to immunized people, i.e. those who have been fully vaccinated or have recovered. This includes, for example, visits to sporting events, Christmas markets and overnight stays for tourists or the use of body-friendly services (exception: medical or nursing services or visits to the hairdresser). 2G-plus rule in facilities with a high risk of infection Visiting clubs, discos, dance events, carnival celebrations and similar traditional events is only permitted to immunized people who also have a negative rapid test (not older than 24 hours) or a PCR test (not older than 48 hours). This also applies to the use of sexual services in brothels. Supplement to the 3G regulations In the area of non-leisure-related facilities and events, the existing 3G regulations will remain in place and will be extended to other offers that have not yet been restricted. This includes access to indoor meetings, school, university, vocational or professional education events, trade fairs, congresses and meetings of municipal bodies. The 3G rule also applies to funerals, civil weddings, hairdresser visits and non-tourist overnight stays. Events For events with spectators standing or seated (sporting events, concerts, music festivals and the like) there are no quantity restrictions for up to 5,000 spectators. Above an absolute number of 5,000 viewers, however, the additional load may not exceed 50 percent of the regular maximum capacity exceeding 5,000 people. Deviating from this, at large events in the open air, the seats may be fully occupied, even if the absolute number of spectators is 5,000, if the organizer ensures that outside of the seated and standing areas there is an obligation to wear at least a medical mask (so-called surgical mask). Control and review of the established regulations The verification of the vaccination and test certificates is carried out by the responsible organizer or operator. A comparison of the evidence with the official identification document is to be carried out at least on a random basis. The CovPassCheck app published by the Robert Koch Institute should be used to check digital vaccination certificates. Failure to do so will result in increased fines. Regulations for children and adolescents, schoolchildren and schoolchildren continue to apply as tested persons due to their participation in the mandatory school tests. Children up to school entry are treated the same as tested people. Children and young people up to and including 15 years of age are exempt from restrictions on 2G and 2G-plus. Further measures depending on the incidence of hospitalization and regional infection rates The measures of the Corona Protection Ordinance apply nationwide and are not dependent on regional or nationwide incidences. If the infection rate worsens significantly, changes to the regulation will be examined. The heads of government of all federal states have already agreed that if there is an increase in the so-called hospitalization incidence (number of people admitted to hospital with regard to Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days) above a value of 6, stronger restrictions will be necessary are. If, on the other hand, the number of infections is significantly reduced, in particular the incidence of hospitalization falls below a value of 3, there will be appropriate reductions in protective measures by amending the ordinance.
