Germany plans to ease restrictive measures
Such a decision has been prompted by the widespread use of Omicron, which is expected to cause an increase in ongoing cases. Such a situation has prompted Germany to plan to ease quarantine rules following an agreement between the federal and state governments.
The new rules are expected to reduce quarantine to 10 days from the current 14 days, and those infected will have the opportunity to leave on the 7th day if they test negative.
While persons close to the infected will be exempted from quarantine if they have received the second or third dose of the vaccine.

France allows tennis player Djokovic to enter, after being rejected by Australia
Tenisti Novak Djokovic do të lejohet të luajë në turneun Roland Garros këtë vit edhe pse nuk është i vaksinuar kundër Covid-19. Një lajm të tillë e konfirmoi Ministrja franceze e Sportit, fill pas refuzimit që autoritetet australiane i bënë Djokovic, duke mos e lejuar të marrë pjesë në turneun Australian Open.
Sipas urdhrit të ministres, tenisti nuk do t’i nënshtrohet të njëjtës marrëveshjeje organizative si personat e vaksinuar, por do të mund të garojë në Roland Garros, pasi këtë ia lejon protokolli i shëndetit.
Veprimi i Australisë ndaj Djokovic, duke i refuzuar vizën bëri jo pak bujë në botë aq sa kishte nga ata që e quajtën si "trajtim prej të burgosuri" sjelljen ndaj tij, por vetë tenisti vijon ende të mos komentojë publikisht vendimin e tij për të mos u vaksinuar.

The teacher from Texas locked her son in the trunk of the car after it was positive

Thankfully the child was found unharmed.
