3G at work
After some After several federal states have enacted a requirement for 3G access regulation in the workplace, a nationwide uniform regulation will apply in the future. With the new Federal Infection Protection Act, employees are in principle only permitted access to the workplace with 3G proof (vaccinated, tested, recovered). This obligation also applies to transport to the workplace organized by the employer. This regulation applies to all workplaces where physical contact with other persons cannot be excluded. For special establishments, such as hospitals and care facilities, even stricter regulations apply.
From a data protection perspective, it must be taken into account that this regulation affects employee data which, as health information, enjoys special protection under Article 9 of the GDPR. Consequently, the highest degree of attention must be paid to data protection-compliant implementation.
