Germany, Covid: After 20 March 2022?

 Well....more of the government program for the future has been laid out:

1.  Free Covid tests?  They end on 31 March....if you want the quickie test.  Got symptoms?  You can go to your doctor, and it's 50-50 if he' do the PCR test.  So the only method is to pay for the test out of your own pocket.  For some reason, I think the pay-for-the-test idea is finished, and everything is to be a treat-it-like-the cold/flu.

2.  If you do have Covid (tested/proven), after 20 March, the quarantine is 7 days (at least at this point).  The 14-day deal?  Gone.  If you show symptoms and just refuse to test?  There's some odd wording that they can force you into a 10-day quarantine but it's a question on how they'd know the symptoms without the necessary test.

3.  Mandatory vaccinations coming?  There's talk that they finally decide this in April.  The general feeling is that there aren't enough votes to force this.

4.  Masks?  For interiors and travel (bus/train)?  Yes, mandated.  Anywhere else....no.
