I hope that there might be some reflection on this," Merkel said in a rare appearance on broadcaster ARD's Anne Will talkshow."What additional measures do we need? ... We need to do more. We have the possibilities of restrictions on going out, further contact restrictions, further mask wearing ... plus testing strategies in all places: so in schools twice a week, and through the economy".
