If all the proposals, campaigns, awareness-raising and appeals for increased vaccination rates are no longer useful, then more binding measures must be reviewed to reduce the number of infections, protect the health system from overload, and prevent new lockdowns.

Medium-sized companies need mandatory vaccination

“We have taken action in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and strengthened our corona traffic lights. If a region or an independent city reaches the “orange” warning level at this traffic light, the 2G rule applies In many indoor areas, such as in restaurants, stadiums or cultural events. I can imagine that mandatory rules like this apply to all of Germany.”
