Coronavirus pandemic: federal states loosen – BW without change – SWR Aktuell

Many federal states will continue to relax their corona rules from Friday. They are thus implementing the second opening step of a three-stage easing plan that the federal and state governments decided in mid-February.

The 3G rule now applies in the catering and hotel industry, according to which unvaccinated people with a negative test are also allowed to eat in restaurants, for example. The long-closed clubs and discotheques are also allowed to open again, the 2G Plus rule applies there. So only those who have recovered and those who have been vaccinated with a test or with a third vaccination are admitted.

Baden-Württemberg has already relaxed

However, Baden-Württemberg had already pushed ahead and had already implemented the second stage of the easing plan last week. For the time being, the Corona regulation that has been in force since February 23 remains.

For example, 60 percent occupancy and a maximum of 6,000 visitors are still possible for public events in closed rooms. Outdoors, a utilization of 75 percent of the capacity and up to 25,000 spectators apply.

3G regulation applies in many areas in Baden-Württemberg

At events and in most other areas of public life, the 3G rule applies: vaccinated, recovered or tested. For example in museums and libraries, in gastronomy and in hotels or in leisure facilities.

Masks are still compulsory

As a rule, medical or FFP2 masks must be worn everywhere. In schools in Baden-Württemberg, masks are still compulsory after the carnival holidays, including in class. The Ministry of Culture justifies this by saying that there could be an increased incidence of infection after the holidays, for example if many children came back from skiing from the carnival holidays. That’s why you want to be careful and maintain the mask requirement.

From March 20th, further corona rules could also be abolished in Baden-Württemberg. Then the current Infection Protection Act will expire. According to the decision of the federal and state governments, all far-reaching corona measures should then be dropped if the situation in the hospitals allows it.
