The meeting will be against the background of German government plans to ease travel rules for people who have been vaccinated or who have recovered from Covid. The federal minister of justice, Christine Lamprecht, has said that "in future, and in accordance with new regulation, vaccinated and recovered people will no longer have exit restrictions".

The health minister, Jens Spahn, has stated that for groups of people, for whom it has been "sufficiently proven on the basis of scientific knowledge" that they are no longer contagious or only minimally so, there should be rapid repeal of "violations of fundamental rights, as these are no longer justified".
