JAKARTA - Germany gave good news about the government's policy that will remove most of the restrictions related to COVID-19 in all aspects of community activities. This news is a breath of fresh air for the world of German football.
The reason is, if the decision is implemented, stadiums in Germany can be filled with spectators again in the next March match. The last time the stadium was full of spectators was two years ago.
Quoted from AP News, Thursday, the plan to remove restrictions related to COVID-19 in Germany was put forward by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. On Wednesday, February 16, they had a meeting with 16 German state governors.
From that meeting they have agreed on a plan to end almost all state actions against COVID-19 restrictions by March 20. The move came after official figures showed the COVID-19 infection rate in Germany had begun to decline.
"In the third and final step starting March 20, 2022, all far-reaching restrictive measures related to COVID-19 can be reversed if the situation in hospitals allows," the decision reads.
Although it will only take effect on March 20, the easing of the restrictions began to be tested on February 4. Where for the capacity of stadiums in Germany began to be attended by 25 thousand supporters or 75 percent of the maximum capacity.
