Editor’s note: In a previous version of this article we wrote inaccurately about an infection during the service. It has not been proven that the faithful were infected directly during the service. Therefore this wording was wrong. We apologize for any inconvenience.
In a refugee shelter in Frankfurt, 65 refugees and two employees were infected with the corona virus. Further corona tests are still pending.
In Frankfurt, Corona skeptics want to demonstrate at the Weseler Werft and at the Alte Oper. The initiative “Enlightenment instead of conspiracy theories” calls for counter-protests again.
The ban on contacts has been violated several times in the past few days on Friedberger Platz in Frankfurt. Now the city of Frankfurt is reacting.
