Virus rates show Germany ‘still very far from normality’: minister

BERLIN, Dec 30, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Germany remains far from a return to
normal life amid persistently high coronavirus rates, Germany’s health
minister said Wednesday as the daily death toll crossed 1,000 for the first
time.

“The infection and death figures show that we are still very far from
normality,” Jens Spahn told reporters in Berlin. “I don’t see how, in this
situation, we can return to how things were before the lockdown,” he added.
