Masks covering the mouth and nose reduce the risk of infection

Corona viruses are very contagious. If an infected person spreads many viruses, it infects unvaccinated people within five minutes, even at a distance of three meters. This was the result of a study by the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, published by the MPI on the Internet on December 2nd, 2021. However, the study also showed that especially FFP2 masks and KN95 masks effectively protect against infection. If the FFP2 masks of infected and unvaccinated people fit well, the risk of infection is only one per thousand, even if the two encounter each other for 20… Read More

No more 3G rule in retail

In Baden-Württemberg, there are no longer any retail access restrictions in the current “Alert Level I” – for example, in clothing stores. Previously, only the vaccinated, recovered and tested (3G) were allowed into these stores. However, customers must continue to wear an FFP2 mask while shopping. This is stated in the amended Corona ordinance. This is effective as of Wednesday, February 9th. Anyone going to a restaurant, café, concert or gym will no longer have to provide contact information as of Wednesday. There are exceptions for clubs and discos as well as nursing homes and hospitals. There, contact information must… Read More

Relaxed quarantine rules in schools and daycare centers

In Baden-Württemberg, entire school classes or daycare groups no longer have to be quarantined – not even in the event of major Corona outbreaks and despite rapidly rising infection figures. This was announced by the Ministry of Health. Only kindergarten children and schoolchildren who test positive must isolate themselves at home. If there were infected students in a class, the non-quarantined classmates must test themselves five days in a row. With the new procedure, the state government wants to protect face-to-face classes and ensure “a reasonably regular school and daycare operation,” according to Health Minister Manfred Lucha. If face-to-face instruction… Read More

Those tested are allowed to shop again

The 3G rule is back in force in the retail sector. This means that apart from vaccinated and recovered people, anyone with a current negative Corona test can shop in retail shops such as clothing shops again as of Tuesday, 25 January. This was decided by the Administrative Court of Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim. The government announced that it would amend the Corona Ordinance accordingly this week. The detailed reasoning of the court can be found under the link https://verwaltungsgerichtshof-baden-wuerttemberg.justiz-bw.de/pb/,Lde/Startseite/Medien/_Einfrieren+der+Alarmstufe+II_+fuer+den+Einzelhandel+rechtswidrig/?LISTPAGE=1213200 tun22012501 In der Tübinger Fußgängerzone.

FFP2 masks on buses and trains / End of curfew for unvaccinated people

Baden-Württemberg is changing its Corona rules again. They apply from Friday, January 28. In part, the rules are tightened, in part relaxed. What is new is that FFP2 masks must now also be worn on buses and trains. In restaurants and during sports in halls, an additional test is no longer necessary. The 2G rule applies there, i.e. access for vaccinated and recovered persons. Restaurants are now allowed to stay open longer than 10:30 p.m. again. There are also relaxations for the unvaccinated: They can leave the house again in the evening and at night – as long as fewer… Read More

Nightly curfew for non-vaccinated people

In the district of Tübingen, non-vaccinated people must stay at home at night starting Sunday, January 16th. The reason: More and more people are getting infected with the Corona virus. The limit of 500 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within one week has been exceeded (seven-day incidence). This is reported by the district office of Tübingen. Therefore, there are restrictions for non-vaccinated and non-immunized people. They are not allowed to leave their homes between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they have an important reason – for example, work, a doctor’s appointment or sports alone outdoors. The nighttime curfew does… Read More

Booster vaccination for 12- to 17-year-olds

The Standing Commission on Vaccination (Stiko) now recommends booster vaccinations for 12- to 17-year-olds. The reason for this is the rapid spread of the Omikron variant of the Corona virus. The children and adolescents receive the Biontech vaccine for the booster vaccination, i.e. the third vaccination. This is what the Robert Koch Institute writes on its website. The booster vaccination should be given at the earliest three months after the previous vaccination. Even in 12- to 17-year-olds, the vaccination protection with the current vaccines decreases after a few months. The third vaccination improves the protection again and reduces the probability… Read More

Shorter quarantine and FFP2 mask obligation

Baden-Württemberg is changing its Corona rules again. They will apply from Wednesday, 12 January, the state said in a press release. The reason is the very contagious Omikron variant of the virus. What is new is that adults aged 18 and over must wear an FFP2 mask in enclosed spaces such as shops and restaurants. This does not apply in private areas, on public transport, at the workplace and to people who cannot wear a mask for medical reasons. The last group, however, needs a doctor’s certificate. In gastronomy, a curfew now applies from 10.30 pm to 6 am. The… Read More
