Unvaccinated people could use these facilities if they had a negative test, but they will not be allowed from the 6th of next month.
In addition to medical workers and school teachers who are already required to be vaccinated, police officers and soldiers are also required to be vaccinated.
Furthermore, the target of booster vaccination, which is currently over 40 years old, will be expanded to 18 years old and over from next month, and healthcare professionals will be obliged to do booster vaccination.
