Steinmeier said the outbreak has been going on for more than a year, causing severe trauma and rifts in Germany, Europe and around the world, and the outbreak is still not over. Nearly 80,000 people have lost their lives in Germany and more than 3 million worldwide, he said, "and every day more people are dying from infections, and at this very moment, people are fighting death in intensive care units." ”
"The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to keep their distance, but please don't let our societies split too." Steinmeier called on German society to unite in mourning and work together to get out of the haze of the epidemic.
At present, Germany is still in the midst of a third wave of the epidemic. The German Bundestag is debating whether to approve the draft amendments to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases proposed by the Bundestag. The draft proposes to require states to uniformly implement the "emergency braking" policy, and when the "cumulative number of new confirmed cases per 100,000 people in 7 days" exceeds 100, strict epidemic prevention measures, including curfews and store closures, must be implemented.

According to the schedule, the German Bundestag will vote on April 21 on whether to approve the amendment. Some federal states, including Babu, Mayzen and Brandenburg, have now announced that they will implement "emergency braking" ahead of schedule without waiting for the federal level to complete the revision process. But other states, including the capital Berlin, have questioned the draft.
The real-time data of Germany's "Times Online" as of 20:00 local time on the 18th shows that the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Germany exceeded 3.15 million. To date, Germany has received more than 21.33 million doses of the vaccine. (End)
