Germany's chancellor Merkel: If we manage to stick to lockdown for month, we can break the second wave
- We understand people are disappointed virus is taking such a long time
- The light at end of the tunnel is quite far away
- 30% of Germany's population is in a risk group for coronavirus
- There are some doubts, scepticism and rejection of coronavirus restrictions
- At lower temperatures, coronavirus reacts differently, more aggressively
- In the last 10 days, the number of people with coronavirus in the ICUs has doubled
- We cannot allow the quick spread of the virus to keep overwhelming health authorities
- It was with a heavy heart we decided on measures but they are necessary
- We have to do without many things that make life nice in next 4 weeks
- Many of the restrictions are on private life so we are reliant on the participation and understanding of citizens
- If lockdown works, we have a bearable December
- We have positive prospects for coronavirus vaccine being approved in the coming months
