In Lower Saxony, too, the corona-related contact restrictions for vaccinated and recovered people are being relaxed again.
This was announced by Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) on Wednesday evening in Hanover after consultations with the federal and state governments.
It should be on February 24th at the latest.
The step could possibly be implemented earlier, said Weil.
Hanover – Anyone who has been vaccinated or recovered can currently meet a maximum of nine other people in the state.
Children up to the age of 13 are exempt from this.
Anyone who is neither vaccinated nor recovered is only allowed to meet two other people from another household in addition to their own household.

On Wednesday, the federal and state governments had agreed on numerous relaxations of the corona virus.
This affects, for example, spectators at events or the abolition of the 2G rule in retail.
In Lower Saxony, the higher administrative court overturned the 2G rule in retail before Christmas.
Since then, customers have had to wear an FFP2 mask, and proof of vaccination is no longer necessary.
