Minister of Health Paulette Lenert explained that as long as no new, more dangerous variants appear, the current measures should suffice.

"For the time being, all is well as far as Covid-19 is concerned," the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP) politician said in an interview with the newspaper Tageblatt on Saturday.

"We cannot predict what will happen in the next few weeks or whether we need to reintroduce certain stricter measures," Lenert said, adding that if a new, more contagious variant appears, the effectiveness of the vaccines could be reduced, and residents would have to be more vigilant again.

"An emergency plan with tougher restrictions is already in place in case of need, but it is clear that we don't need it for the time being", the minister added. The latest Covid-19 law is in force until the end of October.
