Germany extended its national lockdown, imposing stricter social distancing guidelines. As part of the measures, all schools, leisure and sports facilities, as well as non-essential businesses will be closed until the end of the month.
Under the new rules, people will be allowed to meet with one person from another household, instead of five as as was the case till now.
In addition, residents from districts where over 200 virus cases per 100,000 individuals have been confirmed over the past week, will not be able to venture more than 15 km of their places of residence.
