RE: BREAKING: Norway to end all covid-restrictions starting tomorrow (Saturday 12. Feb)

in #covid2 years ago

Finally! I have the feeling that in the more densely populated countries of center and western europe we will have to wait longer until restrictions are lifted and we have this feeling of going back to normal. However, looks like the people is starting to live together with the situation anyway, and the point that we are observing lots of sick people but with not very strong effects among our friends and relatives may makes people less scared of recovering their live soon. Party... soon.

How are things right now where you're at?

I would think that seeing the reopenings in Scandinavia would put some more pressure on others to follow suit.

I usually move in between Spain and Germany. In Spain there have not been extended covid pasaport requirements to access into places, just nightclubs and bars in some regions, but masks in the street are mandatory all the time. However, vaccination rate is huge, probably because population lived with a lot of fear when the first and unknown wave hit hard. I really hope that the compulsory mask disappears soon but I have the feeling that, with or without restrictions people will take some time to go back not to be over protective all the time.

In Germany is a bit different, restrictions to enter into shops and bars have been a lot, until recently you only could only go shopping with a vaccination and for some places like bars, an additional test or a booster. Those restrictions are starting to loosen up in some regions and they start to request just to use an ffp2 mask to enter into shops. However, I see there only a slow gradual change and I have the feeling that restrictions will only disappear slowly, let's see what happens with bars and nightclubs in the incoming weeks.
