Those in favour of the measures cited better on-site protection for all employees (89 per cent) and hopes for higher vaccination rates (49 per cent) as reasons, according to the Chamber of Commerce. Around 16 per cent of companies came out in favour of 2G regulations under which only the fully vaccinated and recovered would be admitted, it said. "The high level of support for 3G measures shows that Hamburg's business community is willing to take great responsibility in this crisis," said Malte Heyne, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce. "But there are also concerns about checking vaccination, recovery and testing records and the increased documentation."
Politicians must create ways of including the measures in daily work unbureaucratically, Heyne added. More than half of respondents fear costly checks of vaccination, convalescence and test certificates. Respondents cited increased pressure on the unvaccinated as well as possible unrest between vaccinated and unvaccinated employees as reasons not to introduce the 3G regulation.
