Germany s coronavirus surge fueled by the omicron variant remains “under control” despite a string of new infection records, the country's health minister said Friday.
Cases as a result of the highly contagious variant in the European Union s most populous nation shot up at a later stage than in several other countries in the region. Officials attribute that to restrictions such as curbs on private gatherings, nightclub closures and requirements for restaurant and bar patrons to have received a booster shot or to present a negative test.
