What was already suspected during the day is now fixed. The Corona lockdown in Germany will be extended until March 7. This was agreed by Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the heads of government of the states in their deliberations on Wednesday. Hairdressers are to be allowed to reopen from March 1, subject to conditions, while the states are to decide for themselves whether to open schools and daycare centers.

Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) has called the time until mid-March “existential” for the further development of the Corona pandemic in Germany because of the danger posed by Corona mutants. According to modeling, the upcoming phase will determine whether mutant corona viruses will gain the upper hand, Merkel said Wednesday following the Corona summit.
