Germany Sees Rise In Coronavirus Cases After Easing Restriction Measures

There's been a surge in cases of Covid-19 in Germany - with new cases reported in hospitals, care homes, refugee centres and following religious gatherings.

The infection rate - known as the R number - has risen to 2-point-88, meaning each person with the virus is passing it onto almost three others.
The country's death rate has so far been relatively low, at fewer than 9,000.
