[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The number of daily deaths from the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in Germany has reached an all-time high.


According to foreign media on the 16th, the daily COVID-19 death toll in Germany was 952. This is the highest number of daily deaths since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Germany last March.


As COVID-19 cases surged recently, Germany implemented strengthened lockdown measures from this day until the 10th of next month. Only essential businesses such as supermarkets, pharmacies, and banks remain open, while most stores and schools are closed.



Last month, Germany introduced a partial lockdown closing pubs and restaurants, but after failing to contain the second wave of COVID-19, the measures were intensified.
