Under the new rules religious gatherings are allowed again provided hygiene and distancing requirements are met in churches synagogues and mosques visits to zoos museums and memorials will also be possible again under the same requirements intensive care units and hospitals will start receiving non covert 1000 patients again and playgrounds can reopen as early as this week.

All right lets bring in our Political Correspondent for more on the story holmes good to see you what do these latest announce announcements are from the German Government tell us. I think the major message from im glad mackerel and her colleagues in the various regions of germany was that it is still miss a sorry took on the side of caution and i wish to proceed very very carefully with relaxation over locking all rules the German Government has set up a process which foresees every 2 weeks there would be for the relaxation of measures the 1st such relaxation measures the major ones were announced of all 10 days ago so those 2 weeks have not yet cost so in fact and the next actions that were announced yesterday such as the tonic ogaden certain kinds of church and religious services and so on and these are the kind of not scheduled events of the aisle chive the normal schedule the normal steps that the government has been taking in the experts considered that in these areas impacted on the number of infection is not going to be caused by further relaxing these areas would not be that great so it was in a sense a sense a signal of hope to the restless population but at the same time an affirmation that he may just steps to relax the lock on rules what i need to be taken off exactly and that us as all the data would be infections of the coronavirus. Really seems like something of a balancing act that the chancellor and the leaders of germany states have to perform here isnt it. Oh absolutely i mean they are under enormous pressure we have to see that this is not only the case in germany of course but here in germany millions of people well are going to get any money at the moment who are on short time work all on shore. And there are tens of thousands of businesses who are facing ruin and of course that is that restlessness in the population people have been confined to their homes for the last few weeks you specially people with Young Children i think im losing patients so that is a lot of pressure a full record for the relaxation of these rules and it has to be balanced against the need for health and the population and im glad that this was issued is that taking steps literally taking steps nobody with all of the needs to reimpose restrictions in the end wont get us to the point of a moment of cheap pasta that if we. Extend it the relaxations and then how to reimpose them again. Reporting for us there has got to talk to you with many businesses forced to close as part of coronavirus restrictions Small Companies are struggling to pay their rent and employees salaries in germany state grants and loans have offered a bit of relief the government of berlin for example has already handed out 2000000000 euros in aid to local companies the payments could help them stay afloat. My Research Went to his pride they can finally open her big tea cake and its a great relief for the peruvian designer who lives in a great sign district in recent weeks shes trying to sell at least some clothing from her maku label online and shes been selling face masks one of they say wouldnt have been possible without emergency aid from the state. She applied for 7000. 00 euros and received it without much hassle 2 days later. We made big plans for this year.

To rent has gone up a lot in recent years because of gentrification so the emergency aid may cover 2 months rent and we can pay our part timers a little but its just a drop in the bucket.

Well theres still a lot that we dont know about the Novel Coronavirus one of the key questions scientists are trying to answer is how it affects children switzerlands Health Authorities have concluded that children cannot contract or spread cold at 19 but a study conducted here in germany suggests otherwise the jury is still out.

New research from berlin chef hospital involving now famous german virologist coastie and austin suggest children develop as many viruses in their throats as adults making them just as infectious and research is involved in a chinese study concluded children become infected with the virus just as often as adults one thing experts around the world broadly agree upon is that infected children tend to develop milder symptoms than adults but as Doctors Point out thats not the case for every single child there are some children who have developed severe disease and some children who have died. There are some recent rare descriptions of children in some European Countries that have had this inflammatory syndrome which is similar similar to the sakis syndrome but it seems to be very rare the World Health Organization is appealing to doctors to systematically record information on child cases of covert 19 and Extensive International database would make it easier to determine how the virus affects children and that in turn could allow schools and kindergartens to be able to reopen their doors with confidence.
