This is the central point of the new Corona Protection Ordinance, which the cabinet decided on Friday in Dresden.
This means that only those who have recovered and who have been vaccinated have access to indoor restaurants, discos or leisure and cultural facilities. There are exceptions for children, adolescents and people who cannot be vaccinated. But you need a test. Major events such as football in stadiums are also affected.
2G does not apply to retail or church services.

The situation in Saxony is dramatic, said Petra Köpping (63). She is not prone to exaggeration and is very concerned about hospital occupancy. Experts have advised the government to act now.
However, the new protection ordinance is not an innovation in the true sense of the word. You only do what has been agreed beforehand. Köpping expects that the overload level will be reached on November 10th or 11th.
So far, the 2G rule was only intended for the affected areas when the overload level was reached – when 1,300 normal beds or 420 intensive care beds are occupied by corona patients in hospitals or a hospitalization value of 12.0 has been reached. This regulation has now been brought forward.
There is also another innovation: FFP2 masks are now compulsory on buses and trains – the only exception to these rules are students.

The Saxon 2G rule also applies to major events with more than 1000 visitors – regardless of whether they take place indoors or outdoors.
At the same time, there is a maximum limit for guests. With a maximum of 50 percent occupancy, a maximum of 25,000 visitors are allowed. Exceptions for Christmas markets remain.
Schools and day-care centers remain open even when the overload level is reached, and the originally planned alternating lessons are dispensed with. The mask requirement continues to apply in class.

The regulation, which is valid up to and including November 25th, also contains new requirements for employers. It is strongly recommended that all employees work from home if possible. The obligation to test twice a week for employees with customer contact remains.
In order to better protect nursing homes, all staff will be tested daily in the future. In addition, from now on there will be more control.
