Calls for more restrictions for non-vaxxed

Tuesday, 30 November 2021 05:00

BAG

Following the vote confirming the government’s Covid policies – many are now calling for the so called ‘2G’ regulations to be brought in.

It’s an abbreviation being used in German speaking countries which explains what’s required to enter public spaces. Currently the rules are ‘3G’ which means you either have to have been vaccinated, recovered or have a recent negative test. 

But the 2G rules remove the right to use a negative test. 

The removal of the option of a negative test is gaining support from many political parties, including the Greens, the Liberals and the Socialists.
