BERLIN - Germany's coronavirus infection rate remained well above the government's target, highlighting the risk of outbreaks such as the one that forced a large meat plant in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to shut down last week.
"We must continue to be vigilant, the virus is still in our country," Dr Lothar Wieler, head of the RKI, told a news conference on Tuesday."If we give it the chance to spread, it will take that chance - we can see that in the current development of outbreaks." "We've always said we'd need to take action if the numbers continued to rise, and we'll now do that in a moderate and meaningful way," Mr Adenauer said in an interview with ARD television on Tuesday."This doesn't mean that we're talking about a second lockdown in the area, but the fact is that we already find ourselves in a kind of lockdown."
