		</div><p>A spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel is supporting calls for a “short, uniform lockdown” as the country grapples with a rise in coronavirus cases.</p>
<p>German state governors, who are responsible for imposing and lifting restrictions, have taken differing approaches.</p>
<p>Some back limited reopening steps and others advocate a stricter shutdown.</p>
<p>Armin Laschet, a governor who also leads Mrs Merkel’s party, is calling for a 2-3 week “bridge lockdown” to control infections while vaccinations are ramped up.</p>
<p>Merkel spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer says, “every call for a short, uniform lockdown is right”.</p>
<p>She says numbers of new cases are not particularly good, and a rise in the number of occupied intensive care beds “speaks a very clear language”.</p>
<p>Mr Laschet also called for the next meeting between Mrs Merkel and governors to coordinate restrictions to be moved up from next Monday but has hit resistance from his colleagues.</p>
