Foto de stock - 24 March 2021, Berlin: A sign with the inscription ""Rescue equipment abuse punishable! Fire emergency call 112"" stands on the Marschallbrücke, in the background the illuminated Reichstag dome can be seen. The federal and state governments had decided on Tuesday night (March 23, 2021), among other things, a tightened Easter lockdown from April 1 to 5, to severely shut down public, private and economic life. Maundy Thursday and Holy Saturday were to be declared days of rest for this purpose. However, massive criticism had been voiced about this, and there was also great confusion about the practical implementation. Chancellor Merkel surprisingly overturned the controversial Easter rest regulation to combat the Corona pandemic and apologized to the citizens. The entire process has caused additional uncertainty, the CDU politician said in Berlin on Wednesday. Photo: Stefan Jaitner/dpa. - Berlin/Berlin/Germany
