Germany lockdown: Gradual reopening as virus cases taper off

Government eases lockdown in phases but cautions social-distancing measures must be adhered to.

More shops and museums will reopen and top-level football will return to the pitch.

The government hopes these moves will gradually help Europe’s biggest economy recover.
