LIVE | Germany: stay at home even when you have a cold | Inland

Residents of Germany should also stay at home in the fight against the corona virus when they have a cold or flu. The German authorities are calling on the residents to do so.

According to head of government Angela Merkel, it can help to prevent additional corona infections. Contacts with others should also be avoided as much as possible.

However, it will remain with calls, because Chancellor Merkel and the 16 states are not in agreement about stricter corona measures. During their consultation Monday, there was no majority in favor of stricter contact bans, Merkel acknowledged. She would have preferred to intervene harder.

For example, the German government is also refraining from additional corona measures in schools, such as smaller classes and a mandatory mask for more students. Here too, leaders of federal states would have objected, media report.

In Germany, a ‘lockdown light’ has been in force for weeks. Catering businesses had to close, but schools were allowed to remain open. According to Merkel, the number of infections remains too high.

Swedish Prime Minister: Cancel appointments

Sweden limits public gatherings to eight people in the fight against further spread of the coronavirus. Compliance with the Swedish coronavirus recommendations has clearly decreased, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven explained the new measure.

“This is the new standard for society as a whole,” Löfven said at a press conference. “Don’t go to gyms, don’t go to libraries, don’t organize dinners. Cancel. ” The measure already applied to restaurants.

Sweden has drawn international attention for its unorthodox response to the pandemic, avoiding lockdowns and relying instead on voluntary measures.

The per capita death rate in Sweden is several times higher than that of its Scandinavian neighbors, but lower than in some larger European countries such as Spain. More than 6,000 people in total have died with Covid-19 in Sweden, slightly less than in the Netherlands.

The resurgence of the disease hit Sweden weeks later than much of mainland Europe. But the number of new infections has increased since the turn of the month, with hospital admissions increasing.

“We have a very serious situation,” Löfven said two weeks ago. “Intensive care beds are increasingly being used to treat Covid patients. The respite we got this summer is over. ”
