BERLIN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 03rd May, 2021) The German cabinet is planning to rush through parliament a proposal that would lift some coronavirus restrictions on those who is either vaccinated or recovered, a government spokesman said Monday.

"The Federal government sent the draft proposal to members of Bundestag and Bundesrat and will discuss it with them. Once they approve it we will adopt the draft quickly," Steffen Seibert said at a news briefing.

He added that the government expected both chambers of the national parliament to decide on the motion this week.
