Germany to close shops from mid-week in tighter lockdown: sources
By Andreas Rinke
3 MIN READ
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany will close shops from the middle of next week
in a tightening of coronavirus lockdown restrictions, people familiar
with the matter said on Saturday.

The decision came ahead of a meeting planned for Sunday morning between
Chancellor Angela Merkel and state leaders as Europe’s largest economy
grapples with a rise in infections.
Germany has been in partial lockdown for six weeks, with bars and
restaurants closed, while stores and schools have remained open. Some
regions have already imposed tougher measures as infections grew.
Markus Soeder, the premier of Bavaria, told Germany’s Bild newspaper
that the new measures would be wide-ranging, including schools,
kindergartens, contacts and shops.
“We definitely have to take the necessary measures before mid-week,” he
said.

Germany was more successful than many European countries in keeping the
pandemic under control in the first wave in March and April. But it has
been struggling to turn the tide in the second wave with what has been
dubbed a “lockdown lite”.
Daily new infections have climbed to 28,438, while the daily death toll
was 496, data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious
diseases showed on Saturday.
“We must take steps in the coming days that are very far-reaching and
very hard-hitting,” German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz told members of
his Social Democratic party at an online event.
Opponents of lockdown measures have regularly protested in German cities
over curbs. On Saturday, police in Frankfurt and Dresden were dressed in
riot gear and armed with water cannon to enforce a ban on such
demonstrations.

Economy Minister Peter Altmaier told the RND newspaper group on Saturday
that hospital intensive care units were beginning to be stretched to
their limits and that Germany could not wait until after Christmas to react.
Merkel has favoured stricter pan-German measures but was unable to get
agreement from the nation’s 16 states.
But some states have since clamped down on their own.
Starting Saturday, a night curfew will be in force in the southwestern
state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, except for people going out to work and for
essential reasons.

especially in the worst-case scenario of the "cluster-5 mink
mutations" (Google it) rendering current vaccines ineffective, is for
us to redouble our efforts, including even while on-line, to rapidly (

unwittingly contragious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in
order to http://bit.ly/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12) for them to call
their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?
...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
