The federal-state summit on how to deal with the pandemic has been interrupted for more than two hours - a one-time process of this length so far.

Chancellor Angela Merkel and the heads of government of some countries are still caught up.

In particular, the domestic vacation, which some prime ministers, including the CDU, would like to make possible, is controversial.

Even among the prime ministers there had been no prior agreement because the coastal states insist on "low-contact travel" in their countries.

Merkel advises according to WELT information in the evening with individual participants on where compromise lines could lie.

Shortly after 6.30 p.m. Merkel interrupted the federal-state talks and, according to participants, was dissatisfied with the debate.

"We decide today that we will keep what we decided the last time," she said, referring to the "emergency brake".

In a time of exponential growth in the number of infections, that is not enough, she added.
