Merkel alludes to a step-by-step plan to phase out lockdown | Abroad

Merkel would not have gone into detail about what the plan to reopen the land entails. A working group with her close colleague Helge Braun and his colleagues from federal states will look into the subject this week. They are preparing the next summit between Merkel and regional leaders, to take place in early March.

Germany has been in a lockdown for months. In any case, it will last until March 7. The authorities have already started to relax measures. Schools and hardware stores opened in some places on Monday and hairdressers in Germany can also start working again from next month.
