'All the measures we have taken like keeping distance, wearing masks, no parties ... are definitely measures that need to be there in place for months to come,' German Health Minister Jens Spahn said.
"We are thinking about step by step, that is important ... going back to a new normal," Spahn said on "Spahn, who was speaking from Berlin, stressed that it will indeed be a new normal because "all the measures we have taken like keeping distance, wearing masks, no parties ... are definitely measures that need to be there in place for months to come."
But Germany is in a place to begin considering what a recovery looks like because its rate of new infections has continued to slow, Spahn said. He cited the effectiveness of social distancing measures and applauded the country's residents for taking them seriously.according to Johns Hopkins University.
Spahn said the German government is now seeking to find "the right balance" between health and economic considerations. "I would say it's not the health of people versus the economy because they are very much interlinked," Spahn said. "You need a strong economy to have a well-equipped health system, for example. Or unemployment, a recession, is harmful for the mental and physical health of people, too."
