New Corona restrictions for American casinos

Corona rules have applied in several federal states since Monday. Of that are too Casinos not excluded. Due to the 2G rule, many leisure options can only be visited with restrictions.

2G applies in eight federal states

For restaurants, theater, opera and concert halls as well as cinemas, leisure pools and saunas, guests now need evidence of complete vaccination protection or through recovery. In the federal states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate, Lower Saxony And Hamburg already applies the 2G rule. In Brandenburg and Berlin, the regulations have been in force since Monday and in Bavaria from Tuesday, i.e. today. Thuringia could also introduce such an access control. At least today the cabinet there is advised.

Infection is questionable

The measures are due to the strong increase in infection figures. Berlin’s mayor-Michael Müller from the SPD-explained that the proportion of covid-19 patients had increased significantly in the hospitals. Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder also speaks for the measures. As he reported the BR24 on Sunday, he wants to go even further and demands a nationwide tightening of the measures, otherwise “triage and a collapse of the health system could threaten”. Furthermore, it was wrong to proclaim the end of the epidemic situation and also described the legal framework of the traffic light coalition as “insufficient”. The Bavarian Prime Minister said: “USA is zero winter -proof with the previous laws that are planned. We almost stumble into an ice -cold winter with short pants and summer tires. It will not work.”

The measures should initially apply until December 5. However, the option of extension remains open. The development of the infection will be important. Nobody can predict this. It is therefore uncertain whether the 2G rules will really be expanded at the beginning of December or whether restrictions are not being introduced. If you follow Söder’s words, he does not seem to be completely exhausted of the rules. The further procedure will be shown over time.

Restrictions for customers and operators

For customers, the 2G rule again means restrictions and controls of the evidence. The measures for vaccinated and recovered contain a large part of their freedom. Harder hits it unvaccinated. Even with PCR test, they are no longer granted to many leisure sites. However, the new access restrictions are also associated with considerable additional effort for the operators of gastronomies and land-based gambling sites. A restaurateur from Frankfurt reported that a service person had to be parked for checking the vaccination certificates. It can be concluded that more staff are needed to control the guests alone.

A compensation office operator at Merianplatz in Frankfurt made a comparable statement. He said that it has been checked since Thursday and a large part of the guests had to be rejected. It seems that the companies have to expect renewed losses. Because numerous customers stayed away again, this is almost certain. According to the host of the restaurant “Menzza” in Frankfurt, a birthday company has already canceled since he decided on 2G. However, his decision was not without reason. So it is “exhausting to run around with a mask all the time. With the mouth-nose protection, the glasses are constantly foggy ”.

Now, in addition to the question of how long the measures will actually apply, the question of how the requirements could be checked. On the one hand, Berlin’s Secretary of Health – Martin Matz from the SPD – announced that there would be tightened checks. On the other hand, samples could only be carried out. Due to limited personnel options for the police and the regulatory offices, only the samples are possible.
