An area of the Alps in southern Germany has been put in total isolation to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.
Landi Bertesgadner, bordering Austria, is the first German region to enter second isolation since nationwide isolation in the spring.
All 105,000 of its inhabitants will be allowed out of their homes only for necessary reasons over the next two weeks.
Like most of Europe, Germany is facing sharp increases in coronary cases.
But the situation remains less serious than in other major Western European countries.
According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Germany has recorded 84 cases of coronary to 100,000 inhabitants over the past 14 days.
The figure is evidently lower than 159 in Italy, 339 in the United Kingdom, 343 in Spain or 427 in France.
But the local infection rate at the Bertesgadner Launden has reached 273 per 100,000 people over the past week.
Schools, restaurants, bars, theatres, gyms, cinemas and hotels will be closed, but church services will be allowed.
Last Friday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on Germans to reduce their social contacts to lower the corruption transmission rates. /Rel/
