Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is sick with Corona again. “My current Covid-19 tests show two lines,” he wrote on Platform Deadlines come true, said government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit. The reception planned for Tuesday by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has been canceled.
Scholz wrote about his test result: “This is clearly not a surprise and I am happy about it.” Government spokesman Hebestreit said that the Chancellor was “in his office” and there “by himself”. He makes phone calls, there are video conferences, “but no direct personal contact”.
The head of the Federal Chancellery, Wolfgang Schmidt (SPD), was scheduled to receive the thesis paper “Cultural Integration Initiative” on Monday afternoon. The direction of the cabinet meeting on Wednesday is currently being clarified, said Hebestreit. Scholz might be able to join in via video. Since the management can only be taken over locally, this would then be carried out by Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck. Hebestreit confirmed that the Chancellor received a booster vaccination against the coronavirus this year.

Scholz was infected with the virus for the first time in September 2022. At that time, he also only suffered from mild symptoms and went into isolation in his apartment in the Chancellery.
