For children under twelve years of age, there must be an exception to the restricted access to vaccinated and convalescent people (2G) in Berlin, from the point of view of SPD state chief Franziska Giffey.
“Yesterday's decision by the Berlin Senate on the 2G option model must be corrected,” demanded the top candidate for the House of Representatives election on Wednesday on Twitter.
"Children under 12 cannot be vaccinated yet," argued Giffey.
“They and their families are massively disadvantaged when it comes to participating in social life.” A higher vaccination rate must be achieved, but not at the expense of children and their families.
According to a decision by the Senate, supported by the SPD, the Greens and the Left, on Tuesday, operators can decide for themselves in a number of areas whether they allow access to indoor areas such as those who have been vaccinated, recovered and tested (3G) or if, for example, the mask requirement and with more participants are no longer required still vaccinated and tested (2G).
The Green parliamentary group in the House of Representatives also demanded exceptions for children and for people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.
The Berlin House of Representatives will be elected on September 26th.
