Covid-19 Gets Worse, Germany Considers Strictest Policies

As of Tuesday, 638,109 people had the injections, the highest daily figure since July 28, although most of them received booster vaccinations.

Austria, which neighbors Germany, has reimposed a full lockdown due to a spike in the caseload.

Austria said next year it would implement mandatory vaccinations.

Meanwhile, the German Ethics Council - an independent group of experts advising the government - indicated it could reconsider its rejection of mandatory vaccination.

"We are really thinking about it, because we see that the numbers are rising," its deputy chairperson, Susanne Schreiber, told RTL television. (ant/dil/mcr20/jpnn)
