Lockdown To Be Extended To 18 April: Spiegel

GERMAN PRESS

Der Spiegel reporting that Germany's COVID-19 lockdown measures are to be extended to 18 April following a surge in cases linked to the B1.1.7 variant linked to the English county of Kent.

  • On Sunday, infections were recorded at 103.7/100k, above the 100/100k limit at which the gov't says the country's health service could come under catastrophic strain.
  • Only a few weeks ago the gov't had outlined its plan to unwind restrictions, but these are not likely to happen after a doubling of the rate of new infections in the past few weeks. A small exemption for meeting family is set to be allowed for the Easter weekend.
  • The increasing length of lockdowns and the slow vaccine rollout it hitting support for Merkel's centre-right CDU ahead of September's federal election. Opinion polls have turned against the party in recent weeks, with the increasing prospect that the CDU could be shut out of the next gov't coalition, something that at the start of 2021 would have been almost unthinkable given the party's then-lead in polls.
