German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Finance Minister, have prepared the Germans for the possible tightening of the current partial blockade, in the perspective of the discussion with the executive directors of the 16 Länder, scheduled for Wednesday, reports DPA, cited by Agerpres.

Restaurants, bars and other public places in Germany have been closed since the beginning of November and stricter physical restraint measures have been imposed to limit the number of COVID-19 cases following the resurgence of the epidemic in October.

Citizens must receive a unified response, a joint response from the federal and state governments. In fact, they are entitled to that. This time we are working hard on this, “Merkel said.

In the most recent meeting with the Landes, Chancellor Angela Merkel wanted to implement tougher measures to limit the spread of the pandemic, but failed due to opposition from the Länder, which have a high degree of autonomy in formulating health policies .
