Germany's Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn stated on Wednesday the country won't force people to get vaccinated for coronavirus.

The official added the measures implemented to curb the spread of the pandemic have managed to stop the exponential growth of infections but the country is "still not where it needs to be."

Earlier today, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Soeder said that the coronavirus restrictions could be extended past December 2.
