Even the chancellor has lost sight. Just over a week and a half ago, Angela Merkel gave prime ministers a broad hand to shape restrictions in their countries. And the heads of government use this freedom. Meanwhile, the various bans and permits have become so small that Merkel was unable to tell the Bundestag on Wednesday “if there are countries that have already promised to allow concerts again from a certain point in time.” But it is not easy either, because new rules are added almost every day. They will continue to relax over the weekend and Monday. Trying to get an overview.
