German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the EU is facing its biggest challenge since its founding as it tackles the coronavirus outbreak.
She said it was essential that the bloc as a whole recovered, calling for the union to boost its ability to make vital protective gear for medical workers.
“Germany will only do well in the long run if Europe does well,” she said, speaking after a cabinet meeting.
Germany has seen more than 100,000 infections – the fourth highest number in the world – and 1,590 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
