REUTERS/Matthias Rietschel/File PhotoBERLIN/FRANKFURT: Germany should temporarily ban private parties, several lawmakers suggested on Sunday , after the number of coronavirus infections in Europe's largest economy reached a four-month high.
The number of confirmed cases in Germany rose by 2,034 to 232,082, data from the Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases showed on Saturday, the highest level since late April. The reported death toll rose by seven to 9,267.
Ralph Brinkhaus, leader of the CDU/CSU conservative parliamentary bloc, said:"Unfortunately since the start of summer a certain recklessness has spread." The remarks come ahead of a planned meeting of Chancellor Angela Merkel with the premiers of Germany's federal states on Thursday to discuss a unified approach to the next steps.
"Private festivities are a great danger," Ursula Nonnemacher, health minister of the state of Brandenburg, told FAS, adding there was a real risk of"hard contact restrictions" should new infections continue to rise.
