Corona Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance

Federal Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil has announced that the Corona Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance will be repealed ahead of schedule at the beginning of February 2023 as part of a ministerial decree. Heil told Reuters that the special hygiene precautions had provided important services, especially during the peak phases of the pandemic. However, the number of new cases is now falling sharply due to increasing immunity in the population.
