The future German government will impose restrictions on the unvaccinated before the advance of covid-19

The three parties negotiating the future governing coalition in Germany agree on impose a series of restrictions for the unvaccinated to face the increase in the pandemic in the country, where vaccination rates are among the lowest in Europe.

This agreement, according to a document accessed by German media, includes measures for the reduction of contacts and the requirement to have a vaccination certificate or a negative test to get on a means of public transport.

“People who have been vaccinated should be able to continue participating in public life. That is why it seems to me an appropriate measure to establish contact restrictions for those who have not been vaccinated,” said the green deputy, Oliver Krischner, on the Morgenmagazin program on public television, without giving further details about this agreement.

In Germany a 67.5% of the population has received the full course of the vaccine and 70% at least the first dose, which represents the lowest vaccination rate in Western Europe.

The Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and the Liberal Party (FDP) are in negotiations to form a government coalition and the three parties presented a bill with various measures last week in the Bundestag. However, according to many critics, including several health ministers of the country who are active in Los Verdes, they were not enough to face the current situation.

Said bill, in legislative process, includes the return to free coronavirus tests, introduced the obligation to be vaccinated or have a daily negative test in the workplace and it kept open the possibilities for the governments of the country to take other measures.

The document that has been leaked now goes further in terms of reducing contacts and restrictions on public transport.

Coronavirus figures continue to rise in Germany and the weekly incidence, according to the latest data from the Rober Koch Institute (RKI) for virology, has exceeded for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic 300 infections per 100,000 inhabitants.

In the last 24 hours, in addition, there have been 43 deaths from coronavirus compared to 33 a week ago.

The upturn in the figures has raised criticism of the decision not to renew the declaration of an epidemic situation of national scope after November 25.
