When shopping and visiting the hairdresser
Spahn promises vaccinated freedoms
Health Minister Spahn wants to give more freedom to people vaccinated with corona. This should facilitate visits to shops and hairdressers. For travelers, the obligation of quarantine will be eliminated. The decision is based on new findings from the Robert Koch Institute.
According to the plans of the Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, those who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus should soon regain their freedoms. “Anyone who has been fully vaccinated can be treated in the future as someone who has tested negative,” Spahn said of “Bild am Sonntag.” The background is an analysis by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), according to which the testing and quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated people can be quickly lifted, the newspaper reports.
If the third wave of the corona pandemic breaks and more opening steps based on rapid tests are taken, as in the retail sector, this fundamental decision would take effect. “Those who are vaccinated can go to the store or to the hairdresser without further testing,” Spahn said. Also, according to the RKI, fully vaccinated people no longer need to be quarantined.
The basis for the plans is an evaluation of RKI’s latest scientific discoveries, the paper writes. In a report available to you at the Federal Ministry of Health: “According to the current state of knowledge, the risk of transmission of the virus by people who have been fully vaccinated is lower no later than the 15th day after administration of the second vaccination dose than with a negative rapid antigen test in asymptomatic infected persons “.
According to “BamS”, the report was sent to the federal states on Saturday. The Prime Minister’s Conference asked the RKI to look at whether and when including vaccinated people in testing concepts “may become obsolete”.
Spahn wants to quickly implement the test and quarantine exemption for vaccinated people in the coming weeks. “We will now put these findings into practice in talks with the federal states in a timely manner,” the minister told the newspaper.
