Merkel says Germany is now in a very dire situation

Following the conclusion of the meeting with the prime ministers of state on Tuesday morning, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has expressed concern about the seriousness of the coronavirus situation in the country.

Has confirmed that the blockade in the country will last until April 18.

Europe’s largest economy struggles with rising covid cases and slower vaccine launch amid a dispute with the UK.

Key Comments:

We are in a race to complete the vaccination.

The number of cases is increasing exponentially due to the British variant of the virus.

When the cases exceed 100 per 100,000 per week we must stop the opening measures.

The fewer new infections, the faster vaccines will have an impact.

April 1 to 5 will be a period of quiet days and reduced social contacts.

This will be an extended Easter where people should stay home.

No more than 5 adults from 2 households they can meet at home at the same time during this period.

During most of this period, only grocery stores will be open.

April 1 and 3 will be considered holidays.

The new British variant of the coronavirus means that we are effectively in a new pandemic.

The UK variant is more infectious, more deadly, longer.
