BERLIN (BLOOMBERG) - Germany is heading toward stiffer restrictions on people who have refused a Covid-19 vaccine, as authorities across Europe seek to rein in a renewed surge in the pandemic. Europe's largest economy is grappling with its worst outbreak, posting a fresh record in its contagion rate on Tuesday (Nov 16). Daily infection rates are breaking records set when the population was mostly defenceless against Covid-19. The Netherlands has reimposed a partial lockdown and Austrian police have been ordered to check individuals on the streets to enforce a lockdown on unvaccinated people. The move would lead to tougher restrictions in bars and restaurants.
