German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she did not rule out a recurrence of a similar situation to the present and the spread of a pandemic in the world within a few years, and called for the start of the necessary measures from today.
Merkel added: “After we remove the imposed quarantine and cancel the restrictive measures, step by step, we have a lot to do, and we have to see and research where to help. We will have to think about the possibility of such situations occurring (the Corona pandemic), I hope it will not repeat itself, but we do not know. “Whether there will be another problem will arise in two years. We need to do a lot, online education, and more suggestions through video conferencing and meetings, and providing assistance.”
The chancellor also indicated that “we still have to live with the virus for a long time,” noting that only after the start of a comprehensive vaccination against the virus will it be possible to talk about some improvement in the situation.
“In the fall, at the end of summer, the situation will improve significantly. But we do not know how many times this virus will mutate. It may disappear completely, but as a result of mutations, as is the case with influenza vaccines, we will get new vaccines. We are,” she said. We do not know … but the situation will return to normal in a large way after most of us are vaccinated. “
The German authorities had announced the extension of the strict restrictive measures in the country regarding limiting the spread of the Corona virus until February 14, after a limited nationwide lockdown was imposed in Germany on November 2 of last year.
