It is understood that Germany will implement a stricter social contact ban than current measures from November 2, and the tentative implementation period will be the entire November. At the same time, the German government will provide between 7 and 10 billion additional subsidies to affected small businesses.
Merkel said at a press conference after the meeting that the current virus is spreading very fast. The German healthcare system can still meet the challenges. However, if the epidemic continues at this rate, the medical system will reach its limit in a few weeks.
Merkel said that to flatten the infection curve, tough measures must be taken and “national efforts” must be made in the fight against the epidemic. Specific measures include: restricting the scale of gatherings, closing theaters, amateur sports fields and other entertainment venues, banning catering establishments from offering dinners, restricting the flow of shops and suspending the business of personal care establishments such as salons beauty and massage parlors.
However, primary and secondary schools and kindergartens are temporarily unaffected by this round of measures and will remain open.
Merkel also announced at the press conference that day that the government will introduce a new economic assistance program to subsidize affected small businesses. Subsidies can reportedly run as high as € 10 billion. The German Finance Ministry and the Economy Ministry will determine the specific details this week.
