Covid today Germany, Merkel: “Current measures are not enough”

Angela Merkel does not consider the current measures in force in Germany sufficient to contain the spread of the Coronavirus. “We have a highly dramatic situation. What is currently in force is not enough,” said the Chancellor quoted by some participants in the internal consultations at the top of the CDU in which Merkel participated in liaison from the Chancellery. “We have a situation – he added – that will go beyond what we have had so far. Vaccination is important and right but it does not help to stop the spread except over a longer period”.
