BERLIN — Germany on Wednesday (Jan 26) reported a new record of 164,000 Covid-19 infections in one day as the lower house of parliament prepared to debate proposals to either require or robustly encourage residents to be vaccinated.

Around 75 per cent of the population has received at least one dose of a vaccine — less than in other western European countries such as France, Italy or Spain, where the equivalent figures are 80 per cent, 83 per cent and 86 per cent — and the vaccination campaign is stuttering.

Early on in the coronavirus pandemic, Germany was more successful than many of its peers in limiting infections through case tracking and quarantines. Various calls for protests to take place in front of the Reichstag parliament building before and during the debate were distributed on the messaging service Telegram.
