German authorities on Monday started to implement stricter measures against COVID-19 amid an alarming rise in new infections.
The country’s seven-day case rate soared to 201.1 per 100,000 people, marking the highest figure since the start of the pandemic early last year.
Only those who are vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 are now allowed to access restaurants, bars, or cultural events. Wearing FFP2 masks became compulsory in taxis and on trains, buses, and trams.
Saxony and neighboring Thuringia are currently the two states with the highest incidence of cases, more than double the national average. They are also the states with the lowest rates of vaccination.
Students were required to get tested for coronavirus and wear a mask in class.
New coronavirus infections reached a record high last week, with more than 30,000 new cases deported daily.
