Germany Divided over Plans to Nix Rules Despite Outbreaks

Associated Press

   BERLIN, GERMANY - Germany's federal government and state governors
   squared up Monday for a battle over plans to end pandemic-related
   restrictions despite fresh clusters of cases across the country.
   The country has seen a steady decline in the overall number of COVID-19
   cases thanks to measures imposed 10 weeks ago to limit personal
   contacts.
   But as restrictions have slowly been lifted there have also been case
   spikes across Germany linked to slaughterhouses, restaurants, religious
   services, nursing homes and refugee shelters.
