正在抗击欧盟最严重的新冠疫情浪潮的拉脱维亚国家议会周四通过新法，允许企业解雇拒绝接种新冠疫苗的员工。
目前该国约61%的成年人已全面接种疫苗，但这一数字仍低于欧盟75%的平均水平。
今年秋天，随着COVID-19病例的激增，拉脱维亚成为欧盟第一个恢复封控的国家。
根据新通过的法律的规定，允许企业无须付薪而暂停没有接种疫苗的员工。如果在被暂停工作的三个月内仍然没有接种疫苗，企业就可以解雇他们。
拉脱维亚政府在提交给议会的一份文件中解释了其立法建议的理由：“我们有充分的理由相信，这样的人不适合这个职位。”
新的规定将于11月15日拉脱维亚解除封控后生效，但也有例外情形，比如最近的感染康复者，他们有医疗原因不接种疫苗。
据拉脱维亚公共广播电台报道，此前强制接种疫苗的规定仅适用于医疗、教育和社会护理领域的工作人员。
