German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a press conference on Tuesday that only 55.1 percent of citizens have completed the vaccination process with Corona vaccines so far.
And that there is still a need for some measures to protect all of society, and stressed that her country has provided the opportunity to receive the vaccine for everyone.
And she added, “While the vaccine has proven to be effective, we cannot say that an unvaccinated person should not exercise his or her rights as a citizen.”

Citizens must present a document proving that they have received the vaccine or have recovered from infection with Corona to enter closed spaces.
Such as hospitals, restaurants, places of worship, attending weddings and meetings, entering gyms, and indoor swimming pools.
And as of next October 11, citizens over the age of 18 will not benefit from the service of conducting corona tests for free.
