Berlin (dpa) - After the vaccination summit from the federal and state governments, municipalities and districts are missing results on how to deal with vaccinated people.

"It is regrettable that no final agreement was reached with the Federal Chancellor about the lifting of the restrictions on fundamental rights for fully vaccinated citizens at the conference of the Prime Ministers," said the chief executive of the Association of Cities and Municipalities, Gerd Landsberg, of the "Rheinische Post" .

Although Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country leaders discussed regulations for fully vaccinated and convalescents at their meeting, as expected, there were no resolutions.

The planned regulation must be approved by the Bundestag and Bundesrat, as Merkel explained.

Health Minister Jens Spahn countered the impression in an ARD “Extra” that there was no schedule.

According to the CDU politician, it should be decided by the end of May to what extent people vaccinated against the coronavirus will continue to be subject to restrictions.

“The federal government will make a proposal for this next week and the Federal Council will then make a final decision on May 28.

So, there is a schedule. "

According to a key issues paper of the federal government from the weekend, vaccinated and convalescent people could get the same exceptions for access to shops and services such as hairdressers that apply to those who tested negative.

When entering from abroad, a quarantine could be omitted in most cases.

Mask requirement and distance should also apply to vaccinated, convalescent and tested people for a longer period of time.

The county council would also have liked a clearer result from the video conference.

“It is right if this also applies to vaccinated and convalescents quickly wherever a negative antigen test is sufficient.

Especially for the retail trade and the catering industry there would finally be a perspective, ”said district council president Reinhard Sager to the newspapers of the Funke media group.

The Greens and the FDP criticized the deliberations on another point.

"So that the vaccination campaign can develop faster in the next few weeks with better vaccine availability, there should have been clear agreements and preparations today for the early involvement of the more than 10,000 company doctors," said Green parliamentary leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt the newspapers of the Funke media group.

FDP boss Christian Lindner added to the papers: “You should be included in the vaccination campaign as soon as possible.

Otherwise there is a risk that the vaccine will be dumped in the future, although the demand for vaccinations is high. "

In view of the increasing deliveries of vaccines, Merkel reaffirmed her promise to make a vaccination offer to all citizens by the end of summer on September 21.

Corona vaccinations should also be possible for everyone in Germany by June at the latest - i.e. without the previous prioritization with a fixed order.

"That does not mean that everyone can then be vaccinated immediately," said Merkel in Berlin after the consultations with the Prime Minister.

"But then everyone can try to get a vaccination appointment, and they will be given according to the supply."

With a view to the coming weeks, the Chancellor said: "We will enter a transition phase that is not easy either."

There will be more and more people who have been vaccinated, but there will still be many unvaccinated people who are in need of protection.

The primary goal is to give everyone their basic rights back as quickly as possible.
