Today in Rhein-Main: Labor law in times of Corona

Good evening,

the short way through the restaurant to the table is enough to give way to a guilty conscience. Somehow it all feels wrong. You almost expect someone to point their finger at you, look punishing and use their lips to form the word “mask”. But nothing happens. Welcome to the 2-G restaurant. The customer does not have to wear a mask here. But also for the employees? Labor law expert Nadja Draxinger says: No. “The 2-G rule in companies would require employers to ask questions about the vaccination status. However, data protection requires a legal legal basis for this, which does not yet exist across the board. This also means that until now, employees in a restaurant that are allowed to exempt customers from wearing masks if the 2-G rule is complied with are only allowed to serve with masks.“But no rule without exception. In health professions, according to Draxinger, things are different. The Infection Protection Act gives employers an express right to ask questions in this special field. In an interview with the labor law expert, business editor Inga Janović clarified in which cases employees still have to disclose the information and when there is a risk of dismissal.

Corona as a constant topic.

One week after the end of the autumn vacation, the infection rates in the Hessian schools are at a “moderate level”, according to the Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs Alexander Lorz (CDU).

More than 1.5 million corona self-tests were done during the holiday care and in the first week of school.

875 of them were positive.

The subsequent PCR tests confirmed 532 cases among the students and 13 among the teachers.

This corresponds to a positive rate of 0.04 percent for children and young people and a rate of 0.02 percent for staff, according to Lorz.

For comparison: In the first week after the summer vacation, it was 0.05 percent of the students.

Even if the incidence, i.e. the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, is no longer officially a benchmark for further corona measures, it is worth taking a look at the current figures that the Robert Koch Institute publishes daily. The incidence value in Frankfurt rose to 177.1 and has thus more than doubled in two weeks. The Frankfurt Health Department reports active Covid-19 cases in 1883.

One restriction, which for once has nothing to do with Corona, concerns the planned road closures for motorcyclists around the great Feldberg. In the summer half of the year, the Hochtaunuskreis wants to close the eastern approach to the Großer Feldberg for motorcyclists every second weekend. The driving ban applies to the Kanonenstraße from Hohemark to Schmitten, the narrow road from Sandplacken through the forest towards the summit and the route from Sandplacken to Oberreifenberg. According to the first district councilor Thorsten Schorr (CDU), the responsible Hochtaunus district wants to adhere to the recommendations that can be found in a report on the evaluation of the traffic test. Because what a lockdown means for motorcycles,practically tested the district together with Hessen Mobil and representatives of the police in May and September for nine days each. The report contains values ​​for noise measurements, but also data that were included in the accident statistics. The Feldberg Initiative has given support for the plan to implement a partial closure. The Federal Association of Motorcyclists, on the other hand, makes no secret of its outrage. A “red line” had been crossed, according to a spokesman. The association has announced that it will take legal action against the blocking. Bernhard Biener sums up the discussion.The Federal Association of Motorcyclists, on the other hand, makes no secret of its outrage. A “red line” had been crossed, according to a spokesman.

And in addition, in the traffic accident in the north Hessian community of Witzenhausen on Friday, in which an eight-year-old was killed, the 30-year-old driver deliberately hit the group of school children +++ doesn’t mean face-to-face teaching at universities +++ we go the question of whether Frankfurt will make it onto the Unesco World Heritage List with its modern settlements.

Stay healthy,
