Chancellor Angela Merkel warns of the Corona situation in dramatic words.
The measures are currently not sufficient.
Berlin - The Corona * situation in Germany is becoming more and more dramatic.
In view of this development, Chancellor Angela Merkel does not consider the current measures to be sufficient.
“We have a highly dramatic situation.
What is valid now is not sufficient, ”Merkel was quoted on Monday from participants in the hybrid deliberations of the CDU board in Berlin.
Merkel was connected from the Chancellery.
She warned: “We have a situation that will surpass everything we have had before.” The 2G rule with access for vaccinated and convalescent people will no longer be sufficient.

Vaccination is important and correct, said Merkel * after this information.
But vaccinating does not help stop the development now, only in the long term.
Intensive care physicians would speak of a highly dramatic situation.
After the epidemic of national importance expires on November 25th, the federal states would now have to adopt measures by November 24th, which then have to take effect.
The difference is now: in the countries you can no longer take measures across the board.
Merkel spoke of a doubling of the number of cases every twelve days.
This week, too, the numbers are expected to rise.
You have to stop the exponential increase quickly, otherwise you will reach the limit of your ability to act, said the Chancellor after this information.
She has the impression that many people are not aware of how serious the situation is.
Merkel in the Corona crisis: Federal government wants to leave the big decisions to traffic lights
The outgoing federal government nonetheless wants to stay out of upcoming major corona decisions - for example in matters of mandatory vaccination. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Monday in Berlin that this discussion about a possible vaccination requirement has now arisen because it has become clear that education and advertising for vaccination alone will not get ahead. With a view to the formation of a new government planned for the week after next, he added: "There is no decision on this now and it would not be made by this federal government either."
From a constitutional point of view, such an obligation is conceivable, said a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Justice.
However, this would require a legal basis and a corresponding regulation would also have to be “proportionately designed”.
In addition, there are medical questions that would then have to be clarified by the Ministry of Health in another federal government.
