People in Germany will have to live with the strict contact restrictions until at least 3 May. This was agreed by Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the 16 state premiers in Berlin on Wednesday (15 April). However, the German government also announced its initial plans to ease the restrictions. EURACTIV Germany reports.

According to the latest German government plans, schools are to be “gradually” reopened from 4 May, and shops up to 800 square metres in area from 20 April, provided they follow proper sanitation measures and have plans to avoid long queues.

The decision of Germany’s Federal Government and the Länder provides for the schools to be opened first for graduating classes. School operations would then be expanded step by step.
