The Federal Republic of Germany and state governments enacted 3G-Regel as a requirement for everyone entering indoor spaces in 2021 so that the general public could resume their current social life as quickly as possible. Allowing those who have been vaccinated (Geimpft), those who have recovered from COVID-19 (Genesen), and those who have been tested with a negative result (Getestet) to enter and exit public spaces and participate in cultural or recreational activities without wearing a mask upon presenting valid proof. Particularly, vaccination is crucial to the unrestricted right to freedom of movement. Some states have adopted the stricter 2G-Regel, which exempts from entry and exit restrictions only citizens who have received the COVID-19 vaccination or who have recovered from COVID-19. Even if they have proof of a negative result from a PCR test taken within 24 hours, they are prohibited from entering indoor spaces. In Germany, there is no legal requirement for COVID-19 vaccination, despite the fact that vaccination is currently the most effective method for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Regardless of whether 3G-Regel, 2G-Regel, or 2G+-Regel are in effect, COVID-19 vaccination without the relevant laws such as the Communicable Disease Control Act as the legal basis for mandatory vaccination, and using vaccination and recovery from COVID-19 as requirements for freely entering and exiting places will raise questions about excessive state interference with the fundamental rights of individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the constitutionality of the 3G-Regel and 2G-Regel under the inspection architecture of the principle of proportionality. |
