This sector of the population will also not be able to meet with people outside their family nucleus.
Controversy
Also, it was confirmed that a draft law on mandatory vaccination, which Scholz supports, will go before Parliament to take effect in February or March.
In addition, the authorities agreed that it is mandatory for children to wear a chinstrap in all schools, a measure that was not in force until now throughout the country.
Germany surpassed 70,000 cases of new coronavirus in one day yesterday for the second time and although the situation has improved somewhat in recent days, authorities say it is still alarming, with many hospitals collapsed and others close to saturation.
Ascent
The measures follow the imprint of what Austria has done, the decision of several Italian cities to restore the obligation to use chinstraps and Norway’s measures to re-establish sanitary restrictions. The German body for the fight against infectious diseases, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), yesterday reported 73,209 new infections in the previous 24 hours. This is the second time that the country exceeds 70,000 infections a day. The previous one had been last week, when authorities announced a record 75,961.
The RKI said that in the last day there were 388 deaths from coronavirus, bringing the total to 102,178.
71.4% of the population of Germany (59.4 million people) were vaccinated with one dose and 68.6% (57.0 million) with the full regimen, while 12.5% (10.4 million) has already received a booster app.
The most delicate point of the new offensive against covid-19 is mandatory vaccination, which could be decided from February or March.
The social democrat Scholz surprised by advocating this radical measure, already approved in Austria and the subject of reflection within the European Union (EU).
Before the end of the year a bill must be presented in Parliament, where deputies will have freedom to vote, it was said.
Opinion
Public opinion evolved significantly on this issue. Last summer, two thirds of Germans were against mandatory vaccines, while now 64% say they are in favor of them, according to polls by television channels RTL and N-TV.
In a long-awaited ruling, the Constitutional Court on Tuesday rejected complaints against national restrictions earlier this year, which constitutes a highly relevant precedent and an implicit endorsement for decisions made by the new chancellor.
