In a video address, German Chancellor Angele Merkel urged people to follow the rules so that the pandemic could end more quickly: “Simply put, these are nationwide emergency brakes to overcome the third wave and prevent overloading our health system. Our vaccination campaign is also gaining momentum. This is the key to overcoming the pandemic. I am convinced that if we can now significantly and rapidly reduce the spread of the infection, easing the restrictions will be possible step by step. ”
German Justice Minister Kristine Lambrehta has announced that vaccinated citizens could be exempted from the restrictions in the near future. How this can be done will be discussed at government level as early as next week.
