Germany tightens restrictions as COVID-19 cases soar | DW News

In Germany, the fourth wave of COVID-19 infections continues to rage out of control. Health minister Jens Spahn says further restrictions are needed to slow the spread of the virus.
Here's a look at the most significant of the new measures in Germany from today on.
