RESTRICTIONS IN GERMANY
In Germany, the government is preparing to tighten health restrictions on the New Year, according to a project consulted on Monday by AFP and which is still to be discussed Tuesday during a crisis meeting between the government and representatives of the 16 German regions , followed by a press conference by Olaf Scholz.
From December 28, except children under 14, people vaccinated or cured will not be able to welcome more than 10 guests into their homes and provided that they are all immunized, according to the text. Non-vaccinated people are only allowed to invite a maximum of two people from one household.
Sporting events, such as Bundesliga football matches, will take place “without spectators” from December 28 and until further notice, as will cultural events and concerts, according to a second amended text released in the evening. Discos and dance clubs will be closed.
Unlike neighboring Netherlands, Germany does not plan to close non-essential stores, cinemas or restaurants, considering it sufficient to limit their access to people who have been vaccinated or cured.
