Berlin: The Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament, has passed amendments to the infection protection act in order to slow the spread of Covid-19. According to the report from the source, the coalition partners Social Democratic Party (SPD), Greens, and Free Democratic Party (FDP) have proposed changes to German infection law that will introduce so-called 3G rules, which stand for vaccinated, recovered, or tested, at work as well as in local and long-distance public transportation.

According to the German government, many existing health safeguards, such as the mandated wearing of masks and distance restrictions, might be maintained. If possible, employees were urged to work from home once more. The regulations will be in effect until March of next year, nationwide.

Depending on the Covid-19 scenario, tougher measures such as 2G rules, which only allow vaccinated and/or recovered people to attend cultural events as well as bars and restaurants, could be adopted indefinitely by federal states. Despite record infection numbers and hospitals overflowing with Covid-19 patients, the amendment prevents future curfews, accommodation bans, or area-wide closures of retailers, schools, restaurants, or sports venues. In the Bundestag debate, the coalition parties supported the new law against criticism from the conservative CDU/CSU.
