German 3G rule: practical and privacy concerns for carriers

Germany made the 3G rule mandatory for companies. Employees must have proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test to gain access to the workplace. “Foreign truck drivers are also bound by this rule as soon as they leave their vehicles. For example, to help with loading or unloading, as this is how they come into contact with the company’s staff. In practice, just about every driver has to leave the cab to check cargo securing, for example. So the 3G rule actually applies to everyone,” says Philippe Degraef, director of Febetra.
