Saarbrücken (dpa) - Saarland's Minister of Health Monika Bachmann (CDU) has spoken out against the proposal by Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) to allow vaccinated people exemptions from Corona restrictions.
"The introduction of certain privileges for vaccinated people would mean a further privilege for the privileged," said Bachmann according to a statement from the ministry on Sunday evening.
It is important to continue to stick together to combat the corona pandemic.
“In addition, it is currently unclear whether people who have been vaccinated can still get the virus in a weakened form and still infect others.
As long as this is unclear, those who have been vaccinated must continue to adhere to the measures such as wearing a mask, "said Bachmann.
Maas had demanded in the "Bild am Sonntag" that vaccinated people be allowed to visit restaurants or cinemas earlier than others. It has not yet been finally clarified to what extent people who have been vaccinated could infect others, he also said. “What is clear, however, is that a vaccinated person will no longer take a ventilator away from someone. This eliminates at least one central reason for restricting fundamental rights, ”said Maas.
