“But the main thing is at the same time to practice the fundamental regulations of social estating – hands, face, area – that’s what everyone has to do if we have to keep beating this.
“But when we look at this specific curve and what’s happening right now, we’ll obviously keep everything under consideration. I don’t need to get into a moment of national blockade, that’s the last thing you need.
“I don’t need to take more than that, we need to keep schools open and it’s that schools have come back as they did. We need to keep the economy open as much as we can, we need to make business work. The only way to do this is notoriously if other people follow the instructions ».
