BERLIN:
Germany’s
interior minister rebuffed Chancellor
Angela Merkel’s attempt to shake
hands with him on Monday as the number of Covid-19 cases in the country rose to 157 with
Berlin reporting its first infection.
When Merkel reached out to greet
Horst Seehofer at a meeting on migration in Berlin, he smiled and kept his hands to himself. They both laughed and Merkel threw her hand up in the air before taking a seat.
