176
Germany plans new rules for sick people. The government wants a big reform. You need a note from the doctor at once. A note is a paper from the doctor. You needed this after 3 days before.
Sick notes by phone are not allowed soon. Sick people must go to the doctor. Friedrich Merz leads the country. He wants to help the economy. He says: People stay home too much. Many experts think these plans are bad.
Doctor boss Andreas Gassen sees full waiting rooms. He says: These plans are bad. Sick people should rest in bed. The politician Ricarda Lang says: The government trusts the people not.
Unions say: Workers are honest people. They fear stress for sick people. Some experts want days without money. These are called Karenz-Tage. You get no money on day 1.
The new rules are not final yet. The parliament decides about the rules. The federal states must agree too. It is different in Switzerland. There is no law for day 1.
