Germany's surge in coronavirus infections is reaching its peak, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, signalling that Europe's biggest economy can soon ease tough curbs as the wave begins to ebb, AFP reports.
“The scientific forecasts show that the high point of the wave is in sight,” Scholz told the upper house of parliament.
“That will allow us to look at the first steps at reopening during a meeting next week between the federal government and the states, and then further steps for spring,” he said.
