The corona incidence increases with the cooler temperatures in Germany. According to reports, some medical practices only want to let in those who have been vaccinated, recovered or tested.
Berlin – The nationwide 7-day incidence this fall is 118. A week ago, according to the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI), it was 80.4. Due to the progress made in the vaccination campaign, however, the number of Corona * patients in hospitals is now playing a bigger role. There is also intense debate about “3G” and “2G”, whether only vaccinated and convalescent people should have access to certain places, or whether those who have been tested should also have access.
The Federal Ministry of Health * under Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU *) has now pointed out that medical practices are not allowed to make the so-called 3G rule a prerequisite for medical treatment. Contract doctors are obliged to treat patients, said a spokesman for the world on Wednesday.
