Germany and Greece officials have rolled out new restrictions on people who have not opted to be vaccinated against the CCP virus, joining officials from several other countries across the globe in backing policies that differentiate by vaccination status.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday that in places where hospitalization rates have exceeded a certain threshold, the country will only allow vaccinated people or people who have recovered from COVID-19 to access public, cultural and sports events, and restaurants.
