correspondent in washington d.c. well retailers here in germany have hit out at the decision to extend the country's coronavirus shutdown until the end of the month say the plan is a disaster chancellor merkel met with state leaders on wednesday and agreed to a cautious reopening strategy the plan also includes measures to make rapid testing more widely available and to speed up the vaccine rollout so far germany has lagged behind many of its european neighbors in getting available doses into people's arms . on the streets of berlin the government's new step by step plan met with little criticism even some sympathy. is read to understand if i don't want to hear mrs merkel shoes i couldn't do it any better that's why i'm cautious we got it just as a tick. it's going to step by step isn't that it's the only way to do it if i wanted was i don't know what the alternative is opening everything up again i think
