When will public life in Germany shut down? The fact that there will be a nationwide hard lockdown already applies before the Chancellor’s video switch Angela Merkel (CDU) with the 16 heads of government of the federal states as safe today, Sunday. The only question is when the time comes.
Lower Saxony Economics Minister Bernd Althusmann (CDU) had indicated in the HAZ that Lower Saxony Shops have to end their Christmas business a few days earlier this year without committing to a specific day. In general, December 20th was initially considered the day on which Germany could be locked down for the second time this year.
