Berlin – In view of the increasing number of corona infections, people in Germany have to prepare for a renewed tightening of the lockdown and the withdrawal of relief. On Friday, Chancellor Angela Merkel pointed out the “emergency brake” agreed by the federal and state governments with a seven-day incidence of 100 or more. “And unfortunately we will also have to use this emergency brake,” she said after consulting with the Prime Minister on how to proceed with the vaccination.
