German Chancellor Angela Merkel said coronavirus is presenting the European Union with its biggest test since its founding
BERLIN — The coronavirus pandemic presents the EU with its biggest ever test, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday ahead of crunch talks between the bloc's finance ministers on how to respond to the crisis.
EU finance ministers will meet Tuesday to try and come up with a plan to respond to the economic damage caused by the crisis. While Merkel hasso-called corona bonds, a proposed common debt instrument to help finance the response to the pandemic, she said stimulus would be needed. "Germany is only doing well if Europe is doing well," she added.
The German government announced one new measure, however: All returning travelers will have to enter self-isolation for two weeks on arrival. Although Germany has banned non-essential travel, residents and citizens may still return from abroad.
