German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in response to the response to the spread of new coronavirus infections today (local time), "We are focusing on slowing the spread so as not to overload the health system."

Prime Minister Merkel held a news conference in Corona 19 in Berlin, saying, "Experts say that 60-70% of the population will be infected by coronavirus."

"The human race has no immunity and no cure for coronaviruses," said Merkel taking the Corona 19 outbreak seriously.

In Germany, infections began spreading on the 25th of last month, just after the spread of Italy, and the number of confirmed patients has recently increased, exceeding 1,500 by this day.

German authorities have recently said they would not consider border closures, recommending cancellations of more than 1,000 large events.

Merkel has called on all EU member states to make efforts to prevent economic shock.

In particular, it suggested the possibility of easing Germany's strict principles of fiscal balance in order to respond to the spread of Corona19.

On the 8th, the 3rd party of the Great Coalition agreed to counter the economic shock mitigation measures aimed at preventing liquidity and increasing unemployment by strengthening support when shortening operations.

The Cabinet will confirm the details of the day.

Prime Minister Merkel said today (Tuesday) that he will discuss further measures to combat Corona 19.
