Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) does not believe in the discussion about exceptions to corona restrictions for people who have already been vaccinated at the moment.

"As long as I cannot vaccinate anyone who wants to be vaccinated, such debates are superfluous," said Woidke of the newspaper "Die Welt" (Saturday).

The mutation of the coronavirus, which became known in Great Britain, worries him.

“It is all the more important that we make rapid progress with the vaccinations.

The federal government has to deliver, ”said Woidke.

«I can open as many vaccination centers here as I want.

If the vaccine isn't there, none of this is of any use. "

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) has proposed that vaccinated people be allowed to visit restaurants or cinemas earlier than others. The operators of restaurants, cinemas, theaters or museums have the right to reopen their businesses if there is a possibility, Maas told "Bild am Sonntag". “And there is when more and more people are vaccinated. Once there are only vaccinated people in the restaurant or cinema, they can no longer endanger each other. " The Federal Ministry of Health rejected the initiative with the note that it was not yet clear whether a vaccinated person could transmit the virus.
