He did not give details, but emphasized, in particular for unvaccinated people there is no reason to give the all-clear. “You cannot promise them that the contact restrictions will be lifted for them in the short or medium term,” said Lauterbach. “My appeal to the unvaccinated is that they get vaccinated at least once quickly so that they have at least an important protective effect for the very serious course of the disease. “
