The number of coronavirus deaths remained relatively low, edging up by six to a total of 9,207.
“This is, no doubt, very worrying,” Health Minister Jens Spahn told Deutschlandfunk radio, adding that citizens had to remain cautious to prevent the virus from spreading further.
“Because we now have a lot of outbreaks all over the country,” Spahn said.

“We see that due to holidaymakers coming back, but also due to all sorts of parties and family gatherings, we now have smaller and larger outbreaks in many regions, in nearly all parts of the country.”
Chancellor Angela Merkel and the 16 state governments in charge of health protection decided to gradually ease the coronavirus lockdown restrictions in May. This step was taken to allow public life and business activity to recover while trying to keep the infection rate low.
