No Christmas Markets booking for me this year, then.
I expect that governments in a number of other jurisdictions will also succumb to irrational panic and indulge the urge to play 'saviour' as Winter approaches. I will limit my bookings to destinations unaffected by this madness. If there are any.
If FFP2 masks being mandatory stops anyone booking its pretty pathetic.
It's also worth pointing out that these German rules will only come into force should case numbers breach agreed thresholds.
