Although Germany and Spain is slowly lifting the heavy measures to revive life to what they might be, the leaders of the two countries strictly draws the line that it should not imply life as BAU.

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez has promised a  ‘gradual, safe and coordinated’ easing of tensions, while Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel wagged her fingers to the more liberal opinions, with authoritative words of  ‘we can’t return to life like it was before coronavirus’. She has also mentioned that some German states were therefore too outgoing in their relenting efforts.  We are in for the long haul. We must not lose energy before we reach the end,’ Merkel said, with putting the adage as: ‘It would be a terrible shame if our hope punishes us.’ Germany after some states have reopened non-essential businesses, also began reopening educational institutions this week , although expressly maintaining additional measures in place.
