The draconian measures comes as Germany battles a record number of infections amid a fourth Covid wave, with intensive care units set to reach capacity by Christmas.

Under the emergency plans being unvaccinated counts as people or have not had two jabs — or their third booster one if they had their second more than nine months ago.

Those who do not have proof of fully vaccinated status, such as on an app, would be barred from entering public venues.

This includes bars, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, non-essential shops and only be able to socialise with a limited number of people.
