Situation in Germany and Italy

Chancellor Angela Merkel supports demands for a short and severe blockade in Germany to curb the spread of the coronavirus as infection rates are too high, a German government spokeswoman said on Wednesday. Germany is struggling to tackle a third wave of the pandemic and some regional leaders have called for a brief and sharp blockade as the country tries to vaccinate more people. "Any call for a consistent short block is right. "We need a stable rate below 100," said government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer, adding that Germany was seeing an increasing number of intensive care patients. A majority of the 16 prime ministers of the German federal state were opposed to bringing forward the talks scheduled for April 12 on what action to take. Meanwhile in Italy the situation has been quite tense, as there have been clashes between citizens and police. Restaurant owners in Rome, but also others dissatisfied with the government's epidemiological measures, due to which they have not worked for weeks, clashed with police during the protest. A police officer was injured in today's clashes between several hundred demonstrators. Citizens protested without protective masks and demanded that the government allow them to work again. The agency reports that security forces intervened after protesters tried to break the police cordon and that members of extreme right-wing groups were among those gathered to take part in the riots. Restaurants, bars and cafes in Italy are closed at least until the end of April and they are only allowed through counter sales or delivery service.
