Germany will lock down its unvaccinated citizens while parliament debates making jabs mandatory, Angela Merkel said as she threw her weight behind the move today. The outgoing Chancellor said that un-jabbed people will soon be barred from non-essential shops and all cultural and leisure facilities, with only those who have got their shots or been infected with Covid allowed to enter. The Bundestag will also begin debating a vaccine mandate as soon as possible with a view to making it law by February next year, Merkel added. Speaking alongside incoming Chancellor Olaf Scholz who has also signalled his support for the move, she said: ‘If I were in the Bundestag, I would vote for it. ‘We all hoped that volunteering would be better accepted. [But] there is a vaccination gap that means… the health system is coming to the brink of overload.’ Other lockdown measures include limiting both public and private gatherings attended by the unvaccinated to a maximum of four people from two households. Nightclubs will also be close in high-infection areas, schoolchildren will be forced to wear masks, and outdoor sporting events will be limited to a maximum of 50 per cent capacity.
