Germany loosens up for a while during the Christmas season

Chancellor Angela Merkel asks in a press conference about the corona measures to remain patient and to persevere. The measures will be extended by at least one month, but the strict measures will be relaxed during the Christmas period.

‘The exponential growth of the coronavirus seems to have stopped, but it doesn’t stop there. The figures remain very high. ‘ This is what German Chancellor Angela Merkel says on Wednesday evening in a press conference about the corona measures. In the first place, they will be extended until at least December 20 and possibly until January. But during the end-of-year period, between December 23 and January 1, Germans are given the opportunity to gather with 10 people.

Outside that period, people may come together with a maximum of five people.

“All non-essential contacts and travel should be avoided,” Merkel said. In addition, she calls for companies to focus on teleworking as much as possible and wearing mouth masks should be mandatory in busy places.

On November 2, Germany announced a lockdown light to get the second wave of the coronavirus under control.
