The first vaccines against the new corona virus are expected to start soon in Germany. Preparations for this are in full swing. Health Minister Jens Spahn commented on the current state in an interview with WELT.
Corona’s harsh new measures are well received by most Germans. Even better than the partial lockdown imposed in early November. However, when it comes to religious services, Germans are divided.
reAccording to a poll, the harsh blockade that has been in place since Wednesday has broad support from the population. In the ARD “Deutschlandtrend Extra”, 69 percent of the participants said that the measures were appropriate, as announced by the WDR on Thursday.
