For those who have been completely vaccinated against Covid-19 and for those who have recovered, the Federal Government believes that there should be certain exceptions to the applicable contact and exit restrictions.
This emerges from a key issues paper agreed within the government on Saturday, which was prepared by Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) with the heads of government of the federal states in preparation for the vaccination summit planned this Monday.
In the paper, which is available to the German Press Agency, it says, as far as entry regulations as well as access to shops and certain services are concerned, people who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 and those who have recovered should be given the same exceptions as for a seven-day period -Incidence of over 100 for those tested negative for the coronavirus apply. However, no relief should be granted when entering from so-called virus variant areas.
"Depending on the development of the infection situation, the vaccination rate and the scientific knowledge about the risk of infection for vaccinated, convalescent and tested people, further exceptions to protective measures will have to be made in the future", is recorded in the key issues paper of the government.
However, the obligation to wear a mouth and nose cover or the distance requirement would continue to apply to vaccinated, convalescent and tested people for a longer period.

Specifically, it says that exceptions should be made in the area of contact restrictions for those vaccinated with a vaccine approved in the EU and for those who have recovered, especially in community facilities such as nursing homes.
"Appropriate exceptions should also be made in the area of exit restrictions."
However, according to the Federal Government, the exceptions to be made for vaccinated and convalescents do not give rise to a right to the opening of certain facilities - such as museums or swimming pools.
People who have recovered should be considered “who can prove a positive PCR test result at least 28 days ago”.
This applies up to six months after the recovery has been established, since sufficient immune protection can be assumed for that time.
In the paper, which serves to prepare a corresponding ordinance under the Infection Protection Act, it is expressly pointed out that the relief and exemptions for certain groups of people are not the granting of special rights or privileges, "but rather the repeal of no longer justified encroachments on fundamental rights" .
