Germany vaccine: German Health Minister Jens Spahn has said people who have been fully vaccinated might soon be able to regain personal freedoms and return to a more ordinary life.
The Minister told a Sunday Newspaper that soon after the second shot of the COVID-19 vaccine he could see some hard lockdown measures lifted for those done receiving the vaccine.
The German President Steinmeier has also called on citizens to get the vaccination (we wrote about it HERE). He has backed the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Germany saying he has full trust in all vaccines approved by the German authorities.
“Vaccination is the most important step on our way out of the pandemic – so take advantage of the opportunities! Join in!” he said.
