The Federal Chancellor and the Prime Ministers have agreed on stricter measures against the corona pandemic. The “ARD extra: The Corona situation” today addresses the new strategy against the virus and potential consequences in the first.

From the middle of the week, all shops except supermarkets, grocery stores and pharmacies should close, and schools and kindergartens should only provide emergency care for children. “ARD extra” discusses the consequences for the retail trade and the prospects of a trend reversal in the pandemic with Chancellery Minister Helge Braun.

Moderator Susanne Stichler also talks to virologist Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit about the federal and state strategy. Will the hard lockdown turn the tide for new infections or is it necessary to extend the restrictions beyond January 10?

In addition to live subtitling, the broadcast today at 8.15 p.m. on the Erste will also be offered with a translation into German Sign Language (DGS) – on the Internet as a live stream and via HbbTV.
