BERLIN - Germany's Health Ministry will ease COVID-19 entry rules for travelers from June 1, suspending a requirement for vaccination, recovery from the virus or a negative test, Funke media group reported on Wednesday, citing the health minister. 

"We will suspend the 3G rule on entry until the end of August," Health Minister Karl Lauterbach was quoted as saying.

The new regulations still need to pass the Cabinet on Wednesday and will recognize all COVID-19 vaccines that are approved by the World Health Organization even if not approved by the European Union, Funke reported.

Germany's coronavirus infections have been falling. The Robert Koch Institute registered 64,437 new infections on Tuesday, which is 21,815 lower than a week ago. —Reuters
