COVID-19 infection rates are rising rapidly in many European countries. The situation in these countries varies dramatically and appears to be directly related to vaccination coverage. Several countries have reacted to the situation and have adjusted their legal frameworks. How are the governments of the individual countries dealing with the current situation and what regulations do employers have to comply with? What information are employers allowed (and required) to process? What are the access restrictions in the workplace? Dr. Ulrike Conradi, Andre Appel, and Cynthia Lange from our Berlin office, and Lucille Gressier from our Paris office, will discuss the most recent developments employers in Europe should be aware of in light of the pandemic.
