Not every kid is meant to go to university or college. So, it makes sense to teach them entrepreneurial skills early
German lawmakers voted on Friday to abolish most of the country’s coronavirus pandemic restrictions despite a surge in infections, with almost 300,000 new daily cases reported.
The Bundestag passed an amendment to the pandemic rules in a 364-277 vote with two abstentions. The upper house of parliament, made up of Germany’s 16 states, approved the measure later on Friday.
The changes mean that the requirement to wear face masks can be dropped for most public settings beginning Sunday, though all German states have said they will keep them in place for up to two weeks. Masks may still be required on public transport beyond then.

The country’s disease control agency reported 297,845 newly confirmed cases in the past 24 hours, and 226 Covid-related deaths.
Health minister Karl Lauterbach defended lifting the restrictions.
“We can’t continue to put the entire country under a shield in order to protect a small group of people who are unwilling to get vaccinated,” he said. “The balance is being shifted.”
