    German R-rate rises to 1.09 following lockdown relaxation

    After around a month of encouraging coronavirus data, Germany's R-rate has risen above one, The Telegraph reports, giving rise to concern that the country has lifted lockdown restrictions too soon.

    The seven-day R figure stood at 1.09 this morning, meaning that on average, each infected person gives the virus to another 1.09 people.

    Germany is set to launch its tracing app this week.
