Germany's federal and state authorities have agreed on a plan to extend the current lockdown past January 10 at least until the end of the month and to also limit movements of people who live in regions with a 7-day infection rate of 200 per 100,000 or higher. Authorities are seeking to bring down daily infection and death rates that have remained stubbornly high despite the current lockdown, which has been in place since December 1.
