Angela Merkel The German chancellor confirmed late Wednesday that a partial shutdown would be introduced in Germany from November 2, next Monday, writes The Guardian. The measures apply to the entire territory of the country and will be renewed every two weeks.
According to the MTI, under the strictest restrictions since the first spring wave of the coronavirus epidemic, the hotel and cultural sectors, among others, will be almost completely suspended, but public education and the daycare system will not be closed.
According to Reuters, the chancellor said:
we have to act, we have to act now to avoid a health emergency.
Merkel recalled that the number of patients treated in the intensive care unit has doubled in the last ten days, and says that if the epidemic continues at the current rate, the capacity will be filled.
According to the notification, companies affected by the closure will receive financial assistance. The chancellor said, among other things, that Germany had reached the point where three-quarters of infections could no longer be traced.
The Federal Minister of Health has previously spoken of the possibility of curbing hospitality and tourism and artistic and cultural life in Germany throughout November due to the intensification of the coronavirus epidemic.
The most important thing is to keep the public education and day care running. These priorities can be quickly identified, but it is very difficult to make the necessary decisions, that is, to stop the tour operators and catering service providers and the artistic and cultural life throughout November.
He said Jens spahn.
