Corona measures in Germany: the G-rules at a glance

It is easy to lose track of the corona measures in Germany. What do 3G, 2G, 1G and 3G + mean?

Frankfurt – In the course of the corona pandemic, measures were repeatedly changed and adapted, with the Germans having to get used to any abbreviations. While it is now clear to most of what the AHA rules mean, the requirements for access to various companies and events are currently causing confusion. So here is an overview of what 3G, 2G, 1G or 3G + mean.

Corona measures in Germany: what does the 3G rule mean?

The 3G rule has been in effect in Germany since 23 August. In general, this means the requirement that proof of a vaccination against or recovery from Corona is required in many places. Alternatively, a negative antigen or PCR test is also valid. The rule applies, for example, to visits to hospitals and nursing homes as well as access to indoor restaurants and hairdressers. So far, so well known. As long as the 7-day incidence in a county is stable below 35 new infections per 100,000 people, countries can suspend the 3G rule in whole or in part.

Corona measures in Germany: what does the 2G rule mean?

The federal states in Germany can also decide whether to apply the so-called 2G rule. A negative corona test is no longer sufficient to gain access to the relevant facilities. In the course of the increasing number of corona cases in Germany, more and more countries are relying on this model, whereby certain companies such as museums, restaurants and clubs can decide between 3G or 2G themselves. In some areas, when applying the 2G rule, the mask and distance requirements are no longer required.

Corona measures in Germany: What does the 1G rule mean?

In the meantime, a 1G rule to contain Corona is also being discussed. A negative test is required from all visitors to a facility or event, regardless of whether they have recovered, have been vaccinated or are none of them. The idea behind the 1G model is that vaccinated and convalescent people can also transmit the virus.

Corona measures in Germany: what does the 3G + rule mean?

Another option is the 3G + model. The 3G rules apply here, with the exception that negative antigen tests are not valid. Instead, those who have not been vaccinated and those who have not recovered have to show an often more expensive PCR test. (vbu)
