Berlín. La canciller alemana, Angela Merkel, defendió el jueves por la noche que se refuercen las restricciones en Alemania frente a la pandemia de covid-19 y pidió que las autoridades se reúnan la semana próxima, indicó a la AFP una fuente de su partido.

Durante una reunión de la dirección de su formación, la Unión Demócrata Cristiana (CDU), Merkel consideró que solo se podrá contener al virus si se refuerzan las medidas claramente, según indicó esta fuente, que participó en la reunión y que citó a la canciller de forma indirecta.
