A large part of the pandemic restrictions will be lifted for those who have been completely vaccinated against Corona and those who have recovered from Covid-19.

The Federal Council approved an ordinance in Berlin on Friday that, among other things, lifts contact and exit restrictions for immunized persons.

In addition, the quarantine requirement after contact with infected people and the test requirement as a requirement for access to the hairdresser, for example, do not apply to these groups.

The regulation should already come into force on the weekend.

The restrictions will be lifted because, according to the Robert Koch Institute, vaccinated and convalescent people are hardly at risk of transmitting the coronavirus.

People are considered fully vaccinated 15 days after their second vaccination and have recovered if the infection was not more than six months ago.

For them, however, the mask and distance requirements still apply.

They are also denied visits to restaurants and hotels for the time being because the establishments are still closed in most of the federal states.

The regulation was passed quickly.

The federal government only launched the regulation on Tuesday.

The Bundestag approved the ordinance on Thursday.
