Germany could soon be hit by a second coronavirus wave, according to a top virologist

Germany faces a second coronavirus wave if the country does not act quickly to contain a series of new outbreaks across the country, a top virologist has warned. Christian Drosten, director of the Institute of Virology at Berlin's Charité Hospital, said: 'In two months, I think we're going to have a problem if we don't turn on all the alarm sensors again now.' Drosten said that there are already clear signs in several places, including Berlin, that Covid-19 was returning to the population. Germany on Tuesday ordered a western region back into lockdown after a major outbreak of coronavirus infections linked to a slaughterhouse prompted fears of a second wave.
