Merkel also praised the United Nations' World Food Program after it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Merkel met with 11 mayors of Germany's largest cities by video conference in the early afternoon to discuss what should be done to slow the spread of the virus. The country has won wide plaudits for slowing the spread of the coronavirus when it first broke out but is grappling with what to do now that it seems to be picking up again.
