Celebrating privately at Christmas: it is best to be vaccinated

Anyone who wants to celebrate privately with others at Christmas should ideally be vaccinated. Without vaccination, only one additional person may be added to one’s own household during alert levels I or II, according to the Corona Ordinance of the State of Baden-Württemberg of 3 December 2021. Visitors with full vaccination protection or those who recovered are not included. Their visits are therefore allowed. Persons under the age of 18 are also excluded, as are those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. tun21120502 Ein festlich geschmückter Weihnachtsbaum.
