BERLIN, March 19 (Reuters) - German health minister Jens
Spahn on Friday dampened hopes that further coronavirus
restrictions will be lifted saying rising infections could mean
that curbs to slow the spread of the virus may have to be
re-imposed.
"The rising case numbers may mean that we cannot take
further opening steps in the weeks to come. On the contrary, we
may even have to take steps backwards," Spahn told a weekly news
conference.
