In the survey conducted by polling firm YouGov, 58 percent of respondents favoured stricter rules for the unvaccinated, while 28 percent believed that applying the same rules to the vaccinated and recovered were right. However, in the past few weeks, states such as Hamburg have gone their own way, implementing a stricter ‘2G’ rule that caters only to the vaccinated and recovered. According to the survey, support for this kind of ‘2G’ system increases with age, with 71 percent of respondents aged 60 and older in favour of stricter rules for the unvaccinated. Equal rules for the vaccinated, the recovered and the unvaccinated met with the highest approval (49 percent) among people in the youngest 18-29 age group. Stricter rules for the unvaccinated are supported by 60 percent of respondents in western Germany, while just under half of their eastern counterparts are in favour.
