Germany set to extend hard lockdown as daily deaths mount

#Germany​'s disease control center on Tuesday reported 944 more #Covid​-19 deaths, fueling expectations that Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country's 16 state governors will extend the country's #lockdown​ until the end of the month. Germany’s latest lockdown took effect Dec. 16 after a partial shutdown starting in early November failed to reduce the number of daily new coronavirus infections. It was initially set to expire Jan. 10. FRANCE 24's Nick Spicer tells us more.
