Germany will not be able to remove all measures aimed at curbing the spread of coronary in early February, Health Minister Jens Spahn said, stressing the need to further reduce contacts to avoid a more virulent strain of the virus, Reuters reports.
“One thing is already visible: It will not be possible to free all restrictions on 1 February”, a German radio station told Wednesday, adding that it would take two or three months for the effects of the vaccine campaign to begin.
“Bild” reported on Tuesday that Chancellor Angela Merkel had told a meeting of lawmakers that the current impasse could last until early April.
The German cabinet is set to meet later Wednesday to approve stricter controls on people entering the country after a national stalemate was tightened last week and extended in late January.
The new regulations will require that people coming from countries with huge loads or where a new, most virulent type of virus is circulated to take a disease test.
The Robert Koch (RKI) Institute for Infectious Diseases reported on Wednesday 19,600 new infections. The death toll increased by 1,060 to 42,637, the figure showed.
