So far, the corona restrictions also apply to people who have already been vaccinated against the virus.

According to Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), that should change quickly.

Initial studies had suggested that vaccination would prevent the virus from being transmitted, he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Since they no longer represented a risk of infection, it should be discussed "which restrictions can be removed for this group," said Scholz.

The proof of vaccination could therefore be used like a negative rapid test.

"Vaccinated people get access to all those places that are otherwise only accessible with a rapid test."

The encroachments on the rights of citizens that arise from the Corona measures would have to be justified by a serious reason, Scholz justified his claim.

According to a survey, a large majority of Germans want to be vaccinated against the corona virus as soon as possible.

73 percent of those surveyed intend to have a vaccination as soon as they have the chance, as the survey published on Wednesday by the opinion research institute Forsa for the RTL / ntv "trend barometer" showed.
