  Span made the above remarks in an interview with Deutsche Radio on the same day.

He said that he can understand that people are feeling tired and do not want to live in social restrictions, but people still have to persist for another two to three months until the launch of the new crown vaccination "real change."

  Germany's current "cities lockdown" measures are expected to be implemented until January 31.

Span reminded that what is clear at present is that even on February 1, the restrictions will not be cancelled overnight.

He said that there are currently about 5,000 severely ill patients with new crowns in Germany, and the number of new deaths per day still often exceeds 1,000.

  In response to the debate in Germany about whether vaccination should be compulsory, Spane reiterated that the government will not mandate the new crown vaccine.

  Spun said that the way the German government promotes vaccination is to build trust among people by providing evidence and information about the vaccine.
