(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, FEB 10 - German Chancellor Angela
Merkel's government wants to extend strict curbs to fight the
pandemic until March 14, according to a draft text seen by AFP
on Wednesday. Despite a fall in infection numbers, new and more
contagious coronavirus variants "are spreading especially
quickly and require signficant additional efforts", said the
document, which still needs to be approved by the leaders of
Germany's 16 states. Merkel and the regional premiers are due to
hold talks later on Wednesday. (ANSA-AFP).
