People with covid booster shots will not have to get tested in Germany

With Omicron making headlines these days, there are talks of a booster doze. Germany has gone a step ahead to exempt those people who have been given a booster vaccination from COVID testing before entering into leisure facilities. According to reports, Germanys Health Minister, Karl Lauterbach and other ministers from its 16 federal states are aiming to encourage people to get the booster shot.
While people with booster shots will not require testing before entering a leisure facilities such as night clubs or discos, they would still require a negative test report before entering hospitals and care homes. Germany currently has 69.9 percent of its population with two vaccinations, and 23.8 percent have already been given booster shots.

According to the draft that was drawn up by the federal health ministry, "Scientific evidence suggests that a booster reduces both the risk of infection and the risk of further transmission. In addition, the lifting of the obligation to take a test could relieve the heavily used test capacity."
Europe is fighting against a possible fourth wave of coronavirus with the rise of Omicron, the new variant. Germany reported 473 deaths on Tuesday related to COVID-19. Moreover, the Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Diseases reported 30823 new cases.

Also, travellers who have been to those places affected by Omicron ten days before coming to Germany need to take a PCR test before leaving, and carry the test report upon arrival in Germany. Also, such people need to go into quarantine until the report is out.
