Omicron: Germany to limit private gatherings after Christmas | DW News
Germany's federal and state leaders on Tuesday agreed to impose contact restrictions — including for vaccinated and recovered individuals — starting next week.
The regulations — which come into effect "at the latest" on December 28 — are aimed to dissuade people from holding and attending large New Year's Eve celebrations amid concerns over the omicron variant.
"Now is not the time for parties in large groups," said Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Under the new measures, a maximum of 10 people who have been vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 would be allowed to attend a private gathering.
In cases when an unvaccinated person is present, only one other household would be able to attend. The new capacity limits will apply to both indoor and outdoor celebrations.
Access to restaurants remains limited to people who could provide proof of vaccination or recovery.
