Germany has seen a surge in COVID-19 deaths over the past month. More than half of all deaths in the entire pandemic were recorded in December. Calls are now growing louder for Germany to extend its current lockdown. Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to hold talks on Tuesday with leaders from Germany’s 16 states to discuss that lockdown, which is set to end on January 10. A leading doctors’ union is urging for an extension saying the health system is in desperate need of relief.
