In Lower Saxony, restaurants, cultural and sports facilities will be able to decide for themselves in future whether to apply the 2G rule. With this step, Prime Minister Stephan Weil wants to make a “contribution to the normalization of public life”.
Lower Saxony is introducing a voluntary 2G option for many other industries. As Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) announced on Tuesday in the state parliament in Hanover, in future restaurateurs and businesses in areas such as culture and sport will only be allowed to admit those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered at their own request. Visitors who only present a corona test would have to stay outside. In return, the mask and distance requirements are suspended.
Weil spoke of a “preventive measure” that restaurateurs and organizers could introduce. The government wants to specify the details in a new corona ordinance that is currently being drawn up. Discos and clubs in Lower Saxony are allowed to open voluntarily according to the 2G model, guests are then exempt from the mask requirement. The regulation shows “consistently good success,” said Weil in the state parliament. It should be expanded.
Normalization of public life for vaccinated and convalescent people
The expansion of the 2G rule is a “contribution to the normalization of public life” in Lower Saxony, said the Prime Minister in his government statement. Fully vaccinated citizens would have the right to lead “their old life” again “without restriction”. Adults who decided against vaccination, however, would have to “answer for the consequences of their decision”.
If the corona situation worsens again in the future, as expected by experts, the unvaccinated will have a “difficult autumn and winter”, added Weil. The government of Lower Saxony will prevent the overloading of clinics and the uncontrolled spread of infection with “all determination”. The vaccinated would then, however, be spared restrictions because they no longer pose any significant danger.
2G enables companies to have a low warning level in Lower Saxony
In Lower Saxony, too, a corona warning level concept generally applies, from which protective measures and requirements are derived. In addition to the seven-day incidence, the number of new hospital admissions and the proportion of corona patients in intensive care units have been taken into account as key indicators since August.
Currently, Lower Saxony is often in level one. The 3G model is therefore mandatory for many services and events in the affected regions.
