COVID: No special freedoms for the vaccinated in Germany
Should those who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus be granted free travel or access to restaurants and cinemas? A debate on these issues is raging in Germany, with its ethics council weighing in.
The German Ethics Council on Thursday spoke out against lifting restrictions for individuals who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Germany has been in partial lockdown since November. Bars, restaurants and cultural and sporting facilities are closed. Schools and non-essential shops were added to the list in mid-December, with rules on mask-wearing and working from home tightened in January amid concerns over new virus variants.
