Chancellor Angela Merkel on the Federal Government's measures in the Corona crisis

It's her first appearance after the quarantine: Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) rejects a rapid end to the coronavirus measures. "It's not the day we can make any statements." Everything will remain as it is until the end of the Easter holidays. For the period after the Easter holidays, the Chancellor is promising a "gradual" lifting of the measures. However, it is not yet possible to say exactly what this lifting will look like. For the time being, she says, they do not want to follow Austria's example, which announced today a return to normality for the period after Easter. Merkel's justification: Austria is "always a step ahead" of Germany. Therefore, the neighboring country could also relax the measures earlier. However, the border controls decided upon by the crisis cabinet remain unaffected. ----- Here on ZDFheute News, you can find out what's happening in the world and what concerns us all: We provide insight into the world of news, explain the background, and address social debates.
