Merkel does not rule out quarantine deployment

A spokeswoman for the Chancellor stressed, the German health system is under ever greater pressure, and Merkel, according to her, is for short-term closures in the country, aimed at lowering the figure of corruption infection.

As Germany lies in the middle of the battle with the third wave of pandemic and the slow campaign of vaccines, some land leaders have called for a period of toughness of restrictions.

“It is fair any calls for a short-term and consecutive shutdown”, said spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer, wrote tch.

“also, at this moment it is important a common local approach.” The various pandemic management from 16 “countries is not a good contribution to the” situation, she added. Demmer told reporters that in Germany an increasing number of patients are in intensive therapy.

We don't have positive data right now, as long as the numbers of new infections are growing. But a clear message is the number of beds occupied in intensive care. They're growing too fast. Doctors of intensive care are concerned”, she said. According to the Robert Koch Institute, national data shows 110.1 cases per 100,000 residents. Based on the German federal system, each land has the right to decide for itself the rules of pandemic management.
