‘Unvaccinated Germans will no longer be welcome anywhere’ | Abroad

The stricter policy for the millions of citizens who have not been vaccinated does mean that “in all likelihood such a drastic lockdown as in the second and third wave will no longer be necessary”, Bild said about the proposals from the Ministry of Health.

According to the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), the ministry wants to increase the pressure on those who do not want vaccination. Free tests will be scrapped this fall and “further restrictions may be needed again” for those who have not been vaccinated.

3G measure

In addition, the 3G rule (vaccinated, cured or tested negative) will generally apply next month. Without meeting one of the three conditions, you will no longer enter the catering industry or the hairdresser and other contact professions. Sports or events indoors and large events indoors or outdoors are also becoming taboo.

The FAZ also reports that the mask obligation will be maintained until spring for public transport and shopping. Keeping distance, ventilation and other hygiene measures will not disappear for the time being in spaces where many people gather.

The increase in the number of infections is not least due to those returning from travel, according to FAZ about fears in Berlin of a new wave. People also behave in their contacts almost the same as they did before the pandemic. Then there are the consequences of the cold months.
