Many European countries have started to turn the page on two years of restrictions put in place to curb the Covid-19 epidemic. Germany is no exception and plans to gradually remove, from March 20, most of the restrictions put in place to combat the Covid-19 epidemic, according to a government plan unveiled on Monday February 14.
“By early spring, March 20, 2022, restrictions on social, cultural and economic life should be gradually lifted”says this eight-page document which will serve as a basis for discussions during a meeting on Wednesday between the government and the German regions.
On this date, the country could thus abolish or limit the vaccination obligations which condition access to the main places of social or cultural life.
The rules encouraging companies to allow their employees to telework as much as possible should also disappear. However, the document specifies that employers will be able, under conditions, to continue to offer work from home in agreement with employees. The wearing of surgical or FFP2 type masks should however remain compulsory, especially in transport or enclosed spaces.
Initially, without yet specifying a precise date, the ceiling concerning the number of people authorized during private gatherings, for the moment limited to 10 people vaccinated or cured, could soon be increased to 20.
Then, from March 4, restrictions in restaurants and hotels should disappear and clubs and discos should be able to reopen for those vaccinated, cured or tested.
