Of the German Association of Cities urges that employees at schools, day-care centers, and in the health and care sector be required to vaccinate as soon as possible. “It is already five minutes past twelve,” said the President of the City Council, Leipzig Lord Mayor Burkhard Jung, on Tuesday in Erfurt. “We want schools and daycare centers to remain open.” The cities are concerned that there are still too many unvaccinated people who endanger children, the sick and the elderly, but also themselves.
The force of the fourth corona wave would also have to be broken with a nationwide 2G rule in the leisure and cultural sector, appealed the representatives of the cities at the beginning of their three-day general meeting until Thursday. Access only for vaccinated and convalescent people (2G) should also apply to the Christmas markets nationwide.
In the Corona hotspots in Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria, contact tracking is no longer guaranteed everywhere. “The clinics are threatened with excessive demands,” warned the President of the City Council. Like other mayors, he appealed to people to get vaccinated or to refresh their vaccination protection.
