Post: Corona: Cabinet decides on end of specifications

Categories

The federal cabinet has decided to lift corona measures, such as mask requirement for long-distance transportation and workplace obligations. Corona restrictions will end on February 2nd.


The planned termination of further corona regulations at work and on trains has been decided by the Federal Cabinet. The requirement to wear masks on long-distance trains and long-distance buses and the previous Corona Occupational Safety and Health Regulations will be lifted on February 2, federal government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit announced in Berlin on Wednesday. .

The reasoning was that the infection situation has “softened significantly” and the forecasts are more positive. The planned relaxation had already been announced in principle.

Heil: Corona specifications correct at peak stage of pandemic

Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) said that the guidelines for companies provide important services, especially during the peak periods of the pandemic. This could have avoided production losses.

General, nationwide uniform requirements are no longer required, although corona-specific regulations must be followed in healthcare and care facilities. In all other areas, employers and employees can independently determine the extent to which infection control measures are necessary.
