Germany on Tuesday capped private New Year’s Eve parties at 10 vaccinated or recovered guests, and announced a ban on spectators at large sporting events from December 28 to slow Omicron’s spread.
“This is not the time for parties and cosy evenings with lots of people,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said after talks with Germany’s regional leaders.
From December 28, large organised events “will no longer take place with spectators, this applies in particular to football games,” he added. Nightclubs will also be closed.
