Germany is moving towards extending and tightening its shutdown restrictions, setting measures that would rein in New Year’s festivities as
the country struggles to slow the stubborn spread of the coronavirus.
Germany’s regional leaders are proposing that a partial lockdown that was due to
run until the end of November is extended until at least
December 20.
The measures would be rolled over for periods of two weeks if contagion rates remain above the government’s target level, according to a briefing paper drawn up by the officials and published in German media.
