Germany scales back Covid-19 restrictions despite high infection rate
Euronews says Germany is scaling back its COVID protection measures as the amended Infection Protection Act came into force on Sunday.

German Health Minister, Karl Lauterbach, stressed that the legal basis for the restrictions was the threat of overload in the health system. According to Lauterbach, he was only able to enforce restrictions in particularly affected regions instead of the entire country.
