BERLIN - Germany's cabinet approved plans on Wednesday to allow people who have been fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, recovered or had a negative test to enter Germany without having to go into quarantine, a government source said.
The changes do not apply to anyone coming from a high-risk or an area with a mutation of the virus.
The easing applies only to people who have had a vaccine approved in the European Union, namely BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
Meanwhile, Pfizer is seeking British approval for the use of its COVID-19 vaccine among 12- to 15-year olds and has submitted data to the health regulator, a company representative said on Tuesday, paving the way for inoculation of adolescents in the country.
