The outgoing German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, described the situation of the current outbreak of the Corona virus in Germany as very dangerous. And Merkel said today, Thursday, after consultations between the federal government and the states in this regard, that the fourth wave of the virus outbreak must be broken, and stressed the importance of receiving booster doses.
Merkel said: It is not always possible to recognize vaccination in the case of receiving a double dose only, and explained that it is currently being discussed – at the level of the European Union as well – that the second dose of the vaccine loses its effectiveness after nine months, so the booster dose is very important.
Given the current situation, Merkel also said that the burden in hospitals is currently partly too great, and indicated that patients are being transferred, and stressed that there is currently a need for a “national solidarity movement”.
