The government apparently wants to relax this week for those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered from the corona.
These also concern the quarantine requirement upon entry.
In the course of withdrawing corona restrictions for fully vaccinated people, the federal government also wants to make it easier for this group to travel to Germany.
The easing could be decided towards the end of the week: According to a report by
Bild.de
, the federal cabinet wants to deal with the regulation for vaccinated people on Wednesday so that it can be voted on in the Bundestag and Bundesrat on Thursday and Friday.
Germany is now following other countries that already give travelers with a full corona vaccination more freedom *.
Freedom to travel: what rights should corona vaccinated people have?
Currently, a negative test result must be presented before departure when entering the country by plane. In the future, proof of a complete vaccination should also be sufficient. A vaccination pass or a vaccination certificate is required for this, which proves a complete vaccination with a vaccine approved in the EU. In addition, 14 days must have passed since the second vaccination. With the one-time vaccination from Johnson & Johnson, proof of one dose is sufficient, as
reported by
Bild.de.
Corona convalescents are therefore affected by the relaxation if the illness was at least 28 days and no more than six months ago.
This exception already applies in some federal states * - including Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate.
However, this relaxation should not apply to the return from virus variant areas or if those affected show typical symptoms of a corona infection.

Corona: More rights in everyday life for vaccinated people
In addition to the elimination of the quarantine for vaccinated travelers returning, according to the government's plan, those affected are allowed to go back to shops or to the hairdresser without tests.
Contact and exit restrictions should also be relaxed or lifted for them.
However, the mask requirement will continue to apply to vaccinated and convalescent people in certain places, as will the requirement to keep a distance in public spaces.
Digital proof of vaccination should come in the summer
Spahn also announced that in addition to medical practices and vaccination centers, pharmacies should also be able to issue the planned digital vaccination certificate, which is due to come in the summer.
At the beginning of the summer holidays, vaccination should not only be proven in analog form with an entry in the yellow vaccination book, but also digitally on smartphones.
If you don't have a smartphone, you can get a printout of the digitally readable vaccination certificate as a QR code on paper.
Even if the smartphone is lost or changed, the certificate can be read into the cell phone again using the printed QR code.
