Berlin: Germany will limit most public life in areas where hospitals become very full of Covid-19 patients to those who have been vaccinated or have recovered from disease, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday.
This step is needed to overcome “very worrying” a wave of pandemic that cut down the hospital, he said.
“Many steps that are now needed will not be needed if more people are vaccinated.
And it is not too late to be vaccinated now,” said Merkel.
In places where the inpatient level exceeds certain thresholds, access to public events, culture and sports and restaurants will be limited to those who have been vaccinated or recovered.
Merkel said the federal government will also consider the demand for local governments for laws that enable them to need care and vaccinated hospital careers.
