Germany accepts patients from Italy and France. Infected from Metz and Bergamo are sent to hospitals in Cologne and Essen. The German health care system is not yet experiencing such pressures as Italian and French, and therefore Berlin has expressed its willingness to help neighbors. The leadership of the Federal Republic of Germany declares that solidarity, unity and mutual assistance within the European Union should not become new victims of the coronavirus. Olaf Scholz, German Minister of Finance: “I am sure that after the crisis we will need more Europe, and we accordingly take care of this. Now we need solidarity - both domestically, in Europe, and around the world.” In practice, there is not so much solidarity and unity. The EU summit a few days ago ended to no avail: the Europeans could not agree on measures that could support the economy of the Union. Following a teleconference, Italian politicians, including the head of the European Parliament, spoke of "selfishness" and "disrespect" on the part of individual countries. Giuseppe Conte, Italian Prime Minister: “Europe must show whether it is capable of responding to such challenges of history. Indeed, history does not warn us before bringing us unexpected, unpredictable disasters.” Against this background, Albania, which is not yet part of the European Union and has historically difficult relations with Italy, sent three dozen doctors to work there in the most affected regions - Brescia and Bergamo.

It later turned out that it was humanitarian aid for Italy
