MeterIn the fourth wave of corona, when citizens should present the vaccination certificate or corona test and in what form, there is great uncertainty. In some federal states, attendants should also check their ID cards, while in other states, they are not allowed to do so. Some restaurants check carefully, some just lazily ask customers whether they have been vaccinated, have they been tested, and some do not check anything. Some regulatory agencies, such as in Stuttgart or Bochum, conduct random inspections. Saxony even requires its region to have at least three control teams.
Other authorities, such as the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia, only check for complaints. Some cities like Bochum cannot tell how many penalties they have imposed. In Cologne there are 30,000 times, including violations of mask requirements. The restaurant owner was also very confused and didn’t know where to check, at the door, at the table, they didn’t know.This is a kind of “Patchwork Quilt”, as the spokeswoman of Saale-Holzland-Kreis comes from FAS. Say.
“We are not in North Korea”
If the Minister of Health of Hessen Keklose The Green Party did not ask directly in the restaurant, and then “I humorously imposed my vaccination status on the employer”. While on vacation in Italy, he experienced a completely different thing: there, he not only had to show a vaccination certificate, but also an ID card. This is actually necessary in Germany. Bochum’s head of regulatory affairs, Sebastian Kopietz from SPD, said: “The pure lesson is if the waiter checks whether the name on the vaccination certificate is the same as this person.” However, the municipality should “on a scale”, so don’t Too strict.
Constitutional lawyer Uwe Volkmann also urged the principle of proportionality. “We are not in North Korea, and you cannot send a policeman behind everyone or in front of every restaurant. The country must also believe that its regulations are voluntarily followed. When the rules are transparent and easy to understand, they will appear.” Hessen Health Minister Klose also believes this. The more uniform the rules, the more people can accept and understand. “
However, in terms of identification, the regulations of various countries/regions are very different. In Berlin, Brandenburg, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony or Schleswig-Holstein, you should actually show your ID. This applies to 2G in Hamburg, Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Saxony-Anhalt. With 3G, it only works in Bavaria, if there is any doubt about the identity. In Baden-Württemberg, no one is required to show it, and the landlord is not even allowed to request it. According to the Stuttgart Supervisory Office, the landlord only needs to “check the validity of the vaccination certificate.” The head of FAS regulations, Sebastian Ritter, said: “If someone shows a vaccination certificate in the name of Mickey Mouse, then it’s obviously fake.” Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Health The spokesperson stated that there is no “legal basis” for introducing such an obligation to provide identity certification, because restaurants and other businesses are not public institutions authorized to establish identity.
