And. Despite support from the armed forces to keep the test and trace system up and running this concern that germanys local Health Authorities are still struggling nonetheless 2000 people protested in stuttgart against the coronavirus measures they were not Wearing Masks. And joining us now in the studio to shed a little light on merkels statement is kate brady or political reporter kate wise merkel making this appeal now well as you say the numbers have increased dramatically specially within the last week and stay we saw yet another record figure here in germany in the last 24 hours more than 7800. 00 new cases so of course in comparison to neighboring countries to sri friends for example those numbers might be something that president Manuel Michel might only dream of right now getting the figures back down to around the 78000 mark every day but of course this is a big jump from what germany has been the biggest numbers weve seen yet since the beginning of the pandemic so this is reading a warning if anything to act now and throughout the crisis Angela Merkel your sign scientific person by trading has been very measured in what shes been saying careful putting the numbers forward get the feeling though i dont know if you did that this is almost a final warning very much so and its very clear that what machall and the German Government doesnt want to do is to impose strict to rules on the nation similar to what we had earlier in the good they were never quite the strict as in some other european neighboring countries to germany but even sorry peoples freedoms was still much more limited compared to what now and the last thing that michael wants to do so what shes calling on people to do is use their common sense now and maybe dont go to that party that you were planning on going to or maybe cancel that Birthday Celebration you are planning for next week but do that of your on your own accord dont wait for that to be an actual new rule in place and what signs are there that the germans will actually heed this call well anecdotally speak in even just travelling arm bowl in the last couple of days coming up on the underground even to work today its very clear that not everyone is following even the most basic of rules which have been in place now for months whether its Wearing Masks on public transport or in in close shops still a lot of people not wearing the prop. Les are tall people not necessarily keep in the distance where they could as well and so thats even with the my face ik roles so whether or not people will actually bilis an end to this call for medical that will be sharyn i believe in the coming days if we see a drop in the number of people being infected by current virus for now were seeing consecutive big jumps in the number so that must be increasing the chance of a 2nd locked down right it certainly could and the question the government is going to be facing in the coming weeks is do we wait for the situation to get even worse or maybe next week if well by already 10000. 00 new cases per day does the government say no now we take action and perhaps put even more stringent stricter measures on to the public before we end up with a situation like in firms like in the u.
