That’s like in other countries,” Merkel told a videoconference of the CDU leadership, Bild newspaper said. “We must quickly contain the infections and intervene,” Merkel said, according to the party source. “We must set priorities, namely keeping the economy running and keeping schools and nurseries open. Soccer is secondary to that for now.”
