New Delhi: After a year, Germany is not only battling the corona pandemic, but it is also registering an increase in its cases here. Due to this, the lockdown here has been extended for three more weeks till 28 March. Let us tell you that Germany is one of the countries where this pandemic had expanded rapidly in the beginning. After this it declined but here its cases are continuously increasing again.

Corona Spread in Germany:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has repeated many times that people's negligence is becoming a problem for others. She has also appealed many times that people should strictly follow all the rules made for prevention of covid-19. For this, the government has even issued orders to the local administration. Even after this, there are increasing cases of constant concern.
