Germany's Chancellor Merkel states, "We have not vanquished the virus as of now"
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) released a weekly video podcast on Saturday, emphasising the importance of shared responsibility in handling the ongoing pandemic situation.
Merkel stressed that the fight against the coronavirus is not yet over, despite the smooth running of the vaccination campaign in Germany. Thousands of new coronavirus infections are still recorded every day, and people are still dying from COVID-19 in Germany.
The Chancellor called it a shared task to handle freedoms responsibly and show consideration for one another. She urged the public to remain vigilant against new virus variants, warning that complacency could lead to a resurgence of the virus.
Merkel finds reasons for optimism, despite the severe third wave and 15 months of the pandemic. She believes that with continued cooperation and shared responsibility, Germany can overcome this challenging period.
As of 2025, the current German Minister of Health coordinating the fight against the coronavirus is Nina Warken. It is essential that the government and the public work together to ensure the health and safety of all citizens.
In the podcast, Merkel encouraged everyone to do their part in controlling the spread of the virus. She emphasised the importance of getting vaccinated, wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing measures.
Merkel's message is a reminder that while progress has been made in the fight against COVID-19, the battle is not yet over. It is crucial that everyone continues to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and others from the virus.
The Chancellor's weekly video podcast is an important platform for her to share her views on the ongoing pandemic and to offer guidance to the public. As Germany continues to battle the coronavirus, Merkel's leadership and words of encouragement are more important than ever.
