The coronavirus outbreak is out of control in Germany as cases and deaths continue to rise after a failed lockdown light , Angela Merkel s economy minister said today.
Peter Altmaier admitted that the less intrusive measures were not enough after Germany was forced to shut down shops and schools and go into a second hard lockdown over Christmas following six weeks of partial measures.
It came as 16,362 cases and 188 more deaths were added to Germany s tally today, bringing the infection count to 1.34million and the death toll to 21,975.
Altmaier warned that hospitals would be overflowing within weeks if the new lockdown were not imposed, with the number of intensive care patients at a record high of more than 4,500.
