“The importance of sport for young people, for children” was discussed again, said Wüst after a joint closed meeting of the CDU leaders from North Rhine-Westphalia, the European Parliament and the Bundestag, in which the designated new federal chairman Friedrich Merz also took part as a guest . “We want to make various things easier. In some cases, children may not be boosted at all. Depending on the age, we also have other ideas“, Stressed Wüst.
He advocated “rapid group tests”. Children and young people in sports clubs or other groups do not have to go to an official test station. “But that everyone did a quick test together and the group leader, the group leader, is paying attention. We want to make it as easy as possible. We all want to set incentives for boosting, because vaccination, and especially boosting, is the way out of this crisis, ”said the chairman of the Prime Minister’s Conference.
The federal-state round with Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) did not take any new decisions on sport on Friday. Currently, according to the applicable Corona Protection Ordinance in North Rhine-Westphalia, people who have already received a booster vaccination must, for example, in addition, a current negative test before indoor sports prove (2G plus). This applies, for example, to entering Gyms or at Tennis in the hall. An additional test requirement would then be omitted for those who have been boosted.
