Estonia Firings
Many public agencies required that employees get vaccinated or face dismissal. Fifty unvaccinated employees of the police and border guard agency are suing their agency over this policy and on Thursday a court granted them temporary relief pending further review of the policy.
Estonia also requires vaccine passports at public venues such as restaurants and gyms – negative tests are no longer accepted.
Forced Leave in Ukraine
In Ukraine, teachers and government officials who aren’t fully vaccinated have been sent on unpaid leave from earlier this week. Restaurants, shopping malls and fitness centers are allowed to operate only if 100% of their staff got shots. Public transport across the country is available only for vaccinated people.
