German Chancellor Merkel shakes handshake, "Antivirus, not conflict," March 3, 06:38
As the spread of the new coronavirus spreads, it has been talked about in Germany that Merkel is refused to shake hands.
At a meeting in Berlin on Tuesday, Merkel reached out to Seehofer for a handshake and was declined.
Merkel immediately raised his hand and smiled and said, "It's right."
Merkel and Seehofer once faced fierce confrontation over refugee policy, with local media saying, `` Rather than the old conflict, we practiced doctors' advice to stop the spread of the new coronavirus. It's a thing. "
In Germany, 157 people have been infected, and experts have called for people to avoid crowds and refrain from shaking hands.
