It is too early for general easing, too large a part of the population is still unvaccinated. The consequence: Health Senator Dilek Kalayci can envision other areas for Berlin in which there are easing of the corona rules only for those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered.
“There are areas where we are forced to allow 2G,” said the SPD politician in the RBB “Abendschau” on Monday, pointing out the clubs that are allowed to reopen for vaccinated and convalescent people after a ruling by the administrative court. “There are still comparable areas. We will follow suit, ”announced Kalayci.
“On the other hand, there are also basic rights, because they would literally exclude people. That is also difficult, ”said the senator. What is possible is the option to enable – for example, giving restaurants the opportunity to choose between the 2G model for vaccinated and convalescent people and the 3G model, in which people with negative test results have the same options.
Already now, restaurateurs or organizers can make use of their house rules and limit access to those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered. A host from the capital region even announced that he would only allow vaccinated people in his Potsdam restaurants and at the Oktoberfest in the “Fischerhütte” on Berlin’s Schlachtensee, everything else was too unsafe for him – more about this private 1G regulation read at Tagesspiegel Plus.
Senate administrations had drawn up key issues for 2G
The political debate, on the other hand, is about combining further easing with the 2G regulation. This model goes back to an advance by Hamburg and means that access to the interior is only granted to vaccinated and convalescent people – who are then exempt from corona restrictions such as distance rules or mask requirements. For example, restaurants and hotels, sports or cultural facilities are possible.[Wenn Sie alle aktuellen Nachrichten live auf Ihr Handy haben wollen, empfehlen wir Ihnen unsere App, die Sie hier für Apple- und Android-Geräte herunterladen können.]
