New Year in different cultures

People celebrate the first of January in most countries around the world these days. Possibly the only Islamic country that bans New Year’s Eve celebrations on religious grounds is Afghanistan. There, the sale of goods in connection with the celebrations is also illegal. In many other Islamic states, the New Year celebration is a social occasion, not a religious one. In Syria, for example, some families celebrate New Year’s Eve with a dinner of family and friends, often in restaurants and clubs. In Syria, there are also game shows where people go to win money. Official television stations broadcast the… Read More

Booster vaccination after three months

The Standing Commission on Vaccination (Stiko) has changed its recommendation on booster vaccination. The booster vaccination for people aged 18 and over can be given from the completed third month after the complete basic immunisation. Older people or those with pre-existing conditions should be given priority for booster vaccinations. They have a greater risk of becoming severely ill with Corona. Those who have been proven to have been infected with Corona should wait at least three months after infection to receive a single vaccination dose. This was announced by the Stiko. The reason for this recommendation is, among other things,… Read More

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.

Fake debt collection: Don’t pay the scammers under any circumstances

Scammers are always coming up with new tricks. Currently, they are sending fake debt collection letters. In this case, debt collection means that companies commission other companies to collect money for unpaid bills. In the letters, the scammers demand several hundred euros for alleged gambling subscriptions, for example. The debt collection companies ask to sign a direct debit authorization. They threaten, among other things, legal proceedings, foreclosures or seizures. But these companies do not exist. They are fake debt collectors. The consumer centre therefore advises: “Anyone who receives a fake debt collection letter should not react to it under any… Read More

Employees must also be vaccinated, recovered or tested if they want to go to work. This has been decided by the Bundestag and the Bundesrat. A rapid test may only be valid… Read More
