The two first discussed recent developments in Luxembourg’s covid-19 situation, including Friday’s announcements by education minister Claude Meisch (DP) on schools, recent extension of sanitary measures and more targeted testing. They also discussed how the pandemic is impacting the local economy and covid-19 fatigue.

Luxembourg-US bilateral relations have also been at the heart of this week’s headlines, from cabine ministers meeting with US ambassadors from across Europe, as well as the delegation focused on space talks.
