Chancellor Angela Merkel wants a radical shutdown in the first week of April. According to information from SPIEGEL, he coordinated the measure with Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder, Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Berlin’s ruling mayor, Müller, the head of the Prime Minister’s Conference, on the sidelines of the federal-state summit in the round of four.
Consequently, the full closure of all stores should apply from April 1 to April 5 or 6. The group is not yet clear on the exact date. According to the request of the group of four, supermarkets will also be affected by the measure. With the strictest measure, the Easter holidays would be extended from three to at least five days, beginning on Holy Thursday until after Easter Monday.
According to information from SPIEGEL, the proposal is now united on the side of the countries led by the Union. Coordination with the rest of the countries is pending.
Since Monday afternoon, the federal and state governments have been discussing new crown measures for Germany; according to SPIEGEL information from the trading circles, the round failed due to various compromises, including holiday regulations and curfews. The summit had been on hold since the afternoon and the negotiations continued in small rounds. Full deliberations did not continue until well after midnight.
No family visits during Easter
The goal of sub-negotiations is to achieve consensus on contentious issues. Merkel criticized, according to information from SPIEGEL, that the measures that the group has agreed to so far are not enough to break the dynamics of the infection. Regarding the “emergency brake”, according to the participants, Merkel said: “We decided today that we will adhere to what we decided last time.” That is not enough in a time of exponential growth in the number of infections. This is not how you can survive in public.
Among other things, the question of whether national tourism should be possible during the holidays, the Round Bund-Länder was divided. The issue of curfews is also controversial. A particularly controversial issue, the conditions under which schools and nurseries have to close, had already been postponed by the group on Monday afternoon, so far there has been no agreement.
