Germany’s Health Minister has called for further restrictions to contain a dramatic surge in coronavirus cases as the country’s infection rate hits a record high.

The United States advised against travel to Germany. Health Minister Jens Spahn has called for more public spaces to be restricted to those who were vaccinated or recently recovered from COVID-19 and also had a negative test, in a bid to contain Germany’s fourth wave.
