Germany sees tentative signs of virus curve flattening

Germany is seeing tentative signs that a surge in coronavirus infections may be easing, the head of the country's disease control agency RKI said Thursday.

"The curve is flattening," said Lothar Wieler, adding that it "shows that we are not helpless against this virus" and that restrictions such as social distancing and mask wearing can help halt the march of Covid-19.
