Altmaier: increase in new infections is alarming

Federal Minister for economic Affairs, Peter Altmaier, and in view of the growing Corona of Infection, a Review of the measures demanded. "We must prevent a second Lockdown with all the Power. That is why we need more targeted measures and corrections instead of the surface of thrashing about in the ceiling," said the CDU politician of the Newspapers of the Funke media group (Sunday).

The increase in new infections to well over 1000 per day was "alarming". Further, he said: "We need to flatten this Trend and reverse it, because it comes to the health of all, the return of the children in the schools, and the recovery of our economy," said Altmaier. dpa/Michael Kappeler/dpabild Federal Economics Minister, Peter Altmaier, speaks in an Interview.
