The “3-G rule” – vaccinated, tested or recovered – is supposed to make public life possible again and reduce CoV infections to a minimum. The penalties for not following these guidelines are correspondingly high.
If someone presents a falsified test result or vaccination certificate and is caught, it is anything but a trivial offense, experts warn. It is document forgery, punishable by up to one year in prison or up to 720 daily fines, according to police.
It is of course also illegal to show valid test results or vaccination certificates that come from someone else. If the restaurant owner has doubts, he is entitled, according to the Ministry of Health, to demand identification so that it can be ruled out that someone is presenting someone else’s test result.
This procedure is comparable to the regulations for the protection of minors, according to the ministry. Restaurants are not allowed to serve alcohol to those under 16. If there is a suspicion that a guest is younger, identification card may bne demanded.
If the guest refuses to show the ID, the restaurant owner must deny him access to his establishment. If he does not do this and is reported, then he must expect a fine of up to 3,600 euros, according to the Magistrate of the City of Vienna. He also faces a fine if he fails to check his guests for compliance with the “3-G rule” when they enter.
