Wolfsburg Mandates Digital Health Training for Food Workers Under New Law

Wolfsburg has introduced a digital health instruction under Germany's Infection Protection Act. The mandatory training is aimed at workers in food service, restaurant kitchens, and communal catering. Participants must complete it before starting such jobs. The online course is available through the city's portal, rathausonline.wolfsburg.de, under the 'Services' and 'Infection Protection' sections. Access requires a BundID account, and the fee is set at €26. Payment can be made via credit card or PayPal.

The training covers infection risks, early signs of infectious diseases, and rules on when health restrictions may limit work activities. After finishing, participants receive a certificate, which must be no older than three months to qualify for employment in these sectors. The digital format replaces traditional in-person sessions, offering a quicker and more flexible option for compliance with Section 43 of the Infection Protection Act.

The certificate is now a prerequisite for anyone entering food-related or catering roles in Wolfsburg. The city's digital system aims to streamline the process while ensuring workers understand key health and safety measures. Without a valid certificate, individuals cannot legally begin such employment.
