Corona: Different wristbands for vaccinated and unvaccinated people in Europa-Park Rust
Vaccinated and convalescents only need the appropriate proof to enter Europa-Park Rust. Unvaccinated people can only visit the park with a current antigen or PCR test. Children under the age of six are exempt. The corona rapid test must not be older than 24 hours, the PCR test not older than 48 hours.
The color of the bracelets of the unvaccinated changed daily. This should make it easier to monitor visitors who last several days, as a new negative test result is required for each new day of the visit. There were uniformly white ribbons for those who had been vaccinated and those who had recovered.

Corona rules in Europa-Park Rust: guests are appalled
But that caused massive headwinds for the guests on site and also on the internet. “That can only be a joke? Who is doing that? ”One Facebook user said indignantly. Another user sees the data protection of the guests violated: “A vaccination is still a personal matter, is the responsibility of the assigned data protection.”
“What a fascist park […] never again Europa-Park,” wrote another Facebook user about the amusement park’s Corona rules. “Do you classify people with differently colored bracelets?”, One user expressed his displeasure with the operators.
Corona pandemic: Europa-Park Rust is rowing back and getting rid of bracelets
Meanwhile, Europa-Park Rust tried to appease users. A spokeswoman for the park told Bild that the different colors were “in no way intended” to “pillory guests visually.” After three days, the park rowed back and removed the bracelets.
“We take the opinion of our guests to heart and therefore reacted immediately. The colors of the ribbons are only related to the day. This means that all guests have the same color on the same day. Accordingly, the 3G status can no longer be recognized by the color, ”the operators commented on Thursday (19.08.2021).
While the number of corona cases in Germany is rising rapidly again, many people also fear stricter rules in the supermarket *. (kas) * hna.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
