The Telegraph reported that those who are not fully vaccinated could be barred from non-essential travel and limited to meeting just one person from outside their household from Friday (19 November) in the region of Saxony.
Under the country’s current rules, the measures will come into force if more than 1,300 hospital beds in the region are occupied by Covid patients for three consecutive days.
Bed occupancy reportedly crossed the threshold on Monday (15 November).
Saxony and Bavaria are among a number of German regions that already require proof of vaccination for people to enter bars, nightclubs, cinemas, restaurants and leisure centres.
