Day six in quarantine for Friedrich Merz (64): The CDU politician suffering from coronavirus has to recover at home. Here he reports via Twitterthat his state of health has improved: "Flu symptoms turn into a normal runny nose". Merz is in a positive mood "to have no symptoms at the beginning of next week".
Yet Merz wrote on Twitter on Wednesdaythat his "flu symptoms got a little stronger". At this point in time, the CDU's designated candidate for chancellor was "confident" and thanked "everyone who is so committed to keeping our health system running". The day before, Merz did his positive corona test on Twitter public.
