Berlin – The debate about unvaccinated people in the corona pandemic is intensifying. According to media reports, several federal states are planning to suspend continued wages for unvaccinated people, for example in the event of quarantine. However, the state of Berlin does not want to join this at the moment.
The attitude of the Berlin state government emerges from a statement by the Senate Finance Administration at the request of the Berliner Zeitung: Because vaccinated people also have to be quarantined after contact with infected people on official instructions, unvaccinated people also receive continued wages. This attitude endures, it was said. So far, according to the tax authorities, compensation payments of around 5.6 million euros have been made due to loss of earnings due to quarantines.
