Exemptions from the Corona restrictions for those who received the vaccine and those recovering in Germany
A decree of the German government to exempt people who have been fully vaccinated against Corona and those recovering from Covid-19 disease from many pandemic control restrictions comes into effect as of midnight today, Saturday, after the decree was published in the Official Gazette today.
The decree was approved by the Federal Parliament (Bundestag) and the Council of States (Bundesrat) earlier.
The decree provides facilities for those who have been vaccinated and recovered automatically with facilities that were in effect until now only for people with negative swabs, provided they obtain the two doses of vaccination in full or recover from Covid-19 disease.
These facilities include the availability of meetings between these people without restrictions, and they will not be counted within the number allowed to participate in the restricted meetings, that is, it is possible for two unvaccinated people to meet in places that witness an increase in the number of Corona injuries with an unlimited number of vaccinated and recovered.
People who have been vaccinated or are recovering from the disease will no longer be subject to quarantine after returning from travel, except in exceptional cases - for example, if they come from an area where there are variants of the virus.
A negative test is no longer necessary for the aforementioned people to do the shopping or to book an appointment with a hairdresser.
