What is the status of compliance with the mask requirement in public transport?

Since April, masks have been compulsory in public transport. The DP MP Max Hahn wanted to know from the responsible minister whether compliance with this rule is controlled and what is the result of these controls.

Fro

« Et ass mir scho méi dacks zu Oueren komm, respektiv ech hunn et selwer erlieft, dass ëmmer nees Leit d’Obligatioun eng Mask am ëffentlechen Transport unzedoen an déi och wärend dem ganzen Trajet unzehalen, net respektéieren.

An deem Kader wollt ech dem Här Minister fir Mobilitéit an ëffentlech Aarbechte folgend Froe stellen:

  • Gehéiert et zu den Aufgabe vun den Zuchbegleeder d’Clienten op d’Maskeflicht hinzeweisen ?
  • Falls jo, dierfen d’Zuchbegleeder Passagéier déi sech net drun halen, op iergend eng Manéier sanktionéieren ?
  • Falls net, op wéi eng Manéier gedenkt den Här Minister de Respekt vun der Maskeflicht an den Zich duerchzesetzen ?
  • Gi reegelméisseg Stéchprouwen an de Busser gemaach, fir de Respekt vun der Maskeflicht ze kontrolléieren ?
  • Wa jo, wat ass d’Resultat vun dëse Kontrollen ?
  • Huet den Här Minister Donnéeën iwwer d’Heefegkeet vu sou Virfäll, wou e Passagéier sech net un d’Maskeflicht gehalen huet ? »

Äntfert

D’Zuchpersonal ass ugewisen, fir wärend den Kontrollgäng an den Zich sécherzestellen, dass all Passagéier d’Maskeflicht respektéiert.

Onglécklecherweis profitéieren awer verschidden Passagéier fir nom Passage vum Kontroller hir Mask erëm erofzehuelen. Wann d’CFL-Personal feststellt, dass ee Client ouni Mask am Zuch sëtzt, gëtt dësen onverzüglech gebieden d’Mask erëm unzedoen. Am Fall vun engem Non-respect fir dëser Fuerderung nozekommen, huet d’Zuchpersonal d’Méiglechkeet fir de Passagéier aus dem Zuch ze verweisen.

Dem Zuchpersonal ass et rechtlech nët erlaabt d’Passagéier ze sanktionéieren. Dës Méiglechkeet ass der Police an der Douane virbehalen, déi onugekënnegt an a regelméissegen Ofstänn Kontrollen am ëffentlechen Transport duerchféiert.

An dem Zesummenhang huet d’CFL zesummen mat der Douane bis ewell un 10 Deeg an an 49 verschiddenen Zich Kontrollen organiséiert an et sinn 15 taxéiert Avertissementer ausgestallt ginn.

Am Kader vun engem Kontroll an der Gare Lëtzebuerg sinn 65 taxéiert Avertissementer geschriwwe ginn.

Zesummen mat der Police huet d’CFL u 4 Deeg an 34 verschiddenen Zich verstäerkt kontrolléiert, woubei keen taxéierten Avertissement huet missen ausgestallt ginn.

Insgesamt sinn bei dësen Kontrollen an den Zich 5 192 Leit kontrolléiert ginn.

Do dernieft ginn et keng weider Donnéeën, wou d’Passagéier am Zuch sech net un d’Maskeflicht gehalen hunn.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
