By EUobserver
German chancellor Angela Merkel is in a 14-day quarantine and is being forced to work from home after having met a doctor who subsequently tested positive for coronavirus. Germany, this weekend, also banned public gatherings of more than two people unless they are from the same household and closed hair salons and massage parlours until further notice. Most non-essential shops and businesses were already closed.
