“We need to act, even immediately, to avoid a national health emergency,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Wednesday night after consulting with provincial leaders.
In Germany, the number of coronavirus patients needing intensive care has doubled in the past ten days, threatening to run out of capacity, according to Merkel. He said that at this point, in 75 percent of the cases, it was no longer possible to reveal where the infection started.
As previously reported, it has announced a partial shutdown starting November 2, which will go into effect for a month across the country. This means that everyone cannot meet more than members of another household in a public place other than those with whom they live in an apartment. In this way, no more than ten people can meet at the same time. Employers are encouraged to send their employees home if they can.
Discos, cinemas, theaters, game rooms, amusement parks, gyms and swimming pools will close. Restaurants can only be delivered to your home and hotels can only be accommodated in an emergency.
These are even gentler measures than in the spring because kindergartens and schools remain open. Stores don’t close either, but they limit the number of shoppers. Visitors can also be received in nursing homes and churches remain open.
At the same time, tens of billions of euros have been set aside to help companies that have suffered damage as a result of the restrictions. Merkel and provincial leaders will meet again in two weeks to discuss whether changes to the restrictions are necessary. (Reuters, Deutsche Welle, Berliner Morgenpost)
