The cases continued to increase in Germany since July. The surge in cases is thought to be have been caused by the reopening of schools. Around 41 schools in Berlin reported students and teachers infected with virus, after only two weeks of reopening. Hundreds of students are in quarantine.

Mass gatherings will remain in place in the country till the end of October. The Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel said that she does not plan to relax restrictions due to the spike in cases.
