According to the amended German Protection Against Infection Act employees may only enter workplaces if they can prove that they are vaccinated against or have recovered from COVID-19 or if they have a negative test result.

For employers, this means a lot of effort around monitoring and documentation. The law also provides that employers may be obliged to offer their staff a working from home option, within the constraints of what is possible.

The regulations comes into effect today.
