In view of the rising corona numbers in Germany, people without a vaccination must expect more severe restrictions, according to Chancellery Minister Helge Braun.
"Those who have been vaccinated will definitely have more freedom than those who have not been vaccinated," said the CDU politician to the newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
If there is a high incidence of infection, unvaccinated people would have to reduce their contacts.
"This can also mean that certain offers such as restaurant, cinema and stadium visits would no longer be possible even for those who have not been vaccinated because the residual risk is too high."
Braun fears an incidence of 850 for election
The Chancellery Minister fears that the incidence in Germany will rise to 850 and thus 100,000 new infections per day by the Bundestag election on September 26th.
"We currently have an increase in the numbers of 60 percent per week," said Braun.
If the delta variant of the virus continues to spread rapidly and it is not possible to counteract it with a very high vaccination rate or behavioral changes, "we would have an incidence of 850 in just nine weeks," calculated the CDU politician.
He worries about starting school after the summer vacation. “Parents, teachers, caretakers and school bus drivers have to get vaccinated. If these groups are all vaccinated, the risk for the children is less, ”said Braun. A new lockdown as before is probably no longer necessary. "Because the vaccinated and recovered no longer play an essential role in the infection process."
