Few weeks ago, German Chancellor Angela Merkel approved the easing on lockdown restrictions. The infection rate curve had flattened out depicting that the goal of slowing the spread of coronavirus had been achieved.

Merkel announced that all shops can be reopened as lockdown restrictions are eased.

Prior to this, as part of the easing of lockdown process, playgrounds, churches and cultural institutions such as museums and zoos that had been shuttered because of the COVID-19 pandemic were allowed to resume their normal activities.

After a two-month suspension of footballing activities, the German Bundesliga football resumed on the Saturday, May 16 after the German Government had given the green light to resume. They have already played three rounds of games behind closed doors with the absence of football fans.

In agreement with the government, all federal states of Germany, will take control of timing the reopening.

As one of the practice of limiting the spread of the novel virus, social distancing cannot be overemphasized as is evident in one of the Cinema theatres situated in Berlin, Germany.
