  Span made the above remarks in Berlin after attending the "New Crown Cabinet Meeting" that day.

He said that in the future, passengers traveling to Germany by air, if they have been fully vaccinated against the new crown, will be exempted from showing a negative report for the new crown before boarding, and only need to provide a vaccination certificate.

  The German Federal Government is pushing for the introduction of a bill as soon as possible within this month, the purpose of which is to allow people who have been fully vaccinated and have recovered from the new crown infection to have greater freedom under the current new crown prevention measures, such as There is no longer a need to show a negative test report when shopping or getting a haircut, and quarantine can be exempted when entering Germany from abroad.

  Regarding the European Commission's proposal to the member states to resume inbound tourism for citizens of third countries outside the EU for tourism purposes, Span expressed his approval on the same day.

He believes that if a third country person has been vaccinated with a new crown vaccine approved by the European Union, it would be reasonable to allow them to enter the country.

As for whether the new crown vaccine that has not yet been approved in the EU should also be recognized, Shi Pan said that this needs further research.
