Yeah it looks like your J&J is counted as fully vaccinated, at least at the time I write this.. The requirement for the test is being dropped for fully vaccinated at 4am on 11th February according to the government website, double check that yourself though please. in case I read it wrong!
It’s weird to hear you describe things as a little scary in the UK now, honestly I think I’m used to it now! Are you in the London area? Rates there peaked first and are now lower, it’s higher in the North West right now.
My sore throat I think may have been psychosomatic! It vanished and I’ve taken 3 negative lateral flows recently (excessive probably but I was socialising this week and one friend is vulnerable so extra careful). |
Yes, I'll be in London. I haven't even checked the numbers yet, I'm sure my city isn't doing much better
but I'm still very much used to masks being required anywhere inside - stores, offices, public transport etc and I think basically anything fun requires to be either vaccinated or recovered AND a negative test as well, no older than 24 hours. Maybe even 1,5 m distance as well? I'm not sure, I haven't been anywhere fun in Germany lately.
Last time I was in London, it felt so weird having a stranger sitting next to me without a mask. Even though back then they were sort of following German guidelines at the event and requiring a vaccination certificate or negative test result. Now they're following UK guidelines which are all scrapped?
I'd probably still feel weird going anywhere in Germany that allows close contact without a mask but with a negative test. It's not so much a real fear as it is just something I'm no longer used to.
Edit: 851 cases per 100.000 in London VS. 1829 in my city
or 2408 in just my area. yep, London is doing much better.
