Merkel speaks briefly with the Germans: In the 90 - second video, explain the measures

In a short speech, with one breath and without ordinary calm, Angela Merkel said citizens would have to respect social distance measures.

She added that citizens should wear masks even after restrictive measures are eased, the Guardian reports.

After facilitating the weekend's restrictive measures, the German Chancellor appeared in her office hall in Berlin and made short press announcements, in which she stressed the importance of respecting safeguard clauses.

It's very important for me to stress again that we're entering a new phase of pandemic and that you're going to need to be sure that people will respect the basic rules, which are keeping distance, wearing masks. This is very important. Thank you very much “, the German Chancellor said.

Merkel's unusual address was interpreted as a response to weekend demonstrations in cities across the country, when hundreds of people gathered in a sign of dissatisfaction because of violating their civil liberties, many of whom did not respect the safeguard clauses.

According to modern data, 172,658 cases of coronary infection have been recorded in Germany since the beginning of the epidemic, as a result of which 7,681 people have died so far.
