Federal Chancellor Heiko Maas (54, SPD) entered quarantine due to the corona infection of one of his bodyguards. A spokesman for the Federal Foreign Office confirmed this to BILD.

Chancellor Angela Merkel (66, CDU) also quarantined her vaccination doctor for two weeks in March due to a corona infection and had worked from home.

On Tuesday, the president of the EU Council, Charles Michel, had to go into quarantine, so the EU summit was postponed for a week until October 1-2..
