　　According to the list of cabinet ministers announced by the Social Democratic Party that day, in addition to the current Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Schultz will be the prime minister, the Bundestag Lauterbach, who has a doctor of medicine and a master of public health, will be the minister of health.

Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in early 2020, Lauterbach has frequently attended various TV talk shows and posted on social media to express his views on the prevention and control of the epidemic.

He is regarded as one of the most exposed public health experts during the German epidemic.

However, some of his remarks have also attracted criticism from the scientific community.

Attorney General Lambrecht of the current government will be transferred to Minister of Defense, Minister of Environment Schulte will be transferred to Minister of Economic Cooperation, and Minister of Labor Haier will remain in his current post.

The newly established Ministry of Construction will be headed by Clara Geiwitz as the minister.

Wolfgang Schmidt, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Finance, who has been regarded as a long-time confidant of Schultz, will serve as Minister of the Chancellery.

As the three parties hold an absolute majority of seats, there is no suspense about Schultz's election.

At 12 o'clock, Scholtz will be sworn in in the Bundestag, and at 13:35 the cabinet ministers will be sworn in.
