Before the Corona summit on Friday, the planned rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated people in Germany will be made public.

In a badly affected state, there should still be easing.

Munich / Dresden - This Friday, January 7th, it's that time again: Corona summit.

The next Prime Minister's Conference on the coronavirus pandemic is coming up in Germany.

And a federal state provides a surprise before the round.

Specifically: Saxony wants to relax widely in its federal state, despite the Omikron variant.

The Corona rules are to be harmonized across the board throughout Germany.

As reported by several media unanimously, the traffic light federal government made up of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP published a new draft resolution the day before, the measures of which are to be implemented in all federal states by January 15 at the latest.
