Some of Germany’s most senior politicians have floated the possibility of tough restrictions for unvaccinated people, or even compulsory inoculation, echoing similar sentiment throughout Europe as the delta variant spreads in the region. A total of 89 million Covid vaccine doses have been administered in Germany as of Saturday, according to data collected by Bloomberg News and Johns Hopkins University. Considering a population of 83 million, it will take one month to cover 75% of the population with a two-dose vaccine at the current rate, according Bloomberg data. Italy will restrict many leisure activities, including dining indoors, for citizens who aren’t vaccinated or haven’t recently tested negative for the virus. In the UK, vaccine certificates could be required at business conferences, music festivals and sports events in England from September.
