According to Interior Minister Roland Wöller (CDU), Saxony is considering additional vacation days for public sector employees if they are vaccinated against the corona virus.
He is taking up a plan from the neighboring country of the Czech Republic.
"The idea of the Czech government is not bad: Every vaccinated public service employee gets two additional days of vacation," said Wöller of the Leipziger Volkszeitung (Saturday edition).
"I think we should try it if it is possible."
Wöller regretted that there was now a certain amount of vaccination fatigue in Saxony.
The fact that only a little more than 50 percent of the Saxons have been vaccinated "is far too little," he told the newspaper.
"If the quota is not significantly higher and reaches at least 85 percent, the probability of restrictions increases in the autumn." This must be avoided at all costs.
"It must therefore not be that the majority suffers from the minority of those who do not want to be vaccinated," said the CDU politician.
Each individual can protect himself and the health of everyone through vaccinations and his behavior.
