BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany will exempt people who have received a booster shot against COVID-19 from quarantine requirements after contact with an infected person, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Friday.
Those who have not received a booster shot can test out of quarantine after seven days under new rules Scholz and regional leaders agreed on Friday, he said.
Also, children will be able to go back to school from quarantine if they test negative after five days, he told a news conference.
