Hundreds of protesters who oppose dressing in masks and other measures against the coronavirus piled up on Saturday in a lake in southern Germany in the city for smaller-than-expected demonstrations.
The rally in the city of Konstanz, on the Swiss border, far from the expected 15,000, with police saying that some 1,000 had reached dominance and all occasions had been peaceful.
Similar opportunities in August in Berlin, involving a combination of left- and right-wing anti-vaccine activists, conspiracy theorists and self-proclaimed loose thinkers, attracted some 20,000 people.
Germany has regulations similar to many other European countries, requiring others to wear masks on public transport and to stay at a distance of 1. 5 meters (five feet) when you can imagine, they are among the most important.
But the country has had a lower rate of contagion than the maximum of its neighbors and has been controlled to avoid the kind of restrictive general confinement observed in Spain and Italy.
“People want to think a little more about itArray . . . and be afraid of nature because viruses and bacteria are components of nature,” participant Ella, 51, told the AFP.
Police were in force to patrol the rallies after one of the earlier rallies saw teams of protesters trying to break into the building of the parliament in Berlin.
Demonstrations also provoked outrage after photographs showed participants with Nazi badges.
The Tunisian government will ban all meetings and working hours of public sector workers to prevent the immediate spread of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi said Saturday.
The move was made amid strong fears that hospitals across the North African country will not be able to care for large numbers of patients due to a shortage of extensive care beds.
The total number of coronaviruses increased to more than 20,000 from approximately 1,000 before the country’s borders were re-opened on 27 June.
In a speech in which he delivered the latest measures to combat the virus, Mechichi said he had given orders to Tunisian governors to establish a regional blockade if necessary.
But he added that it is unthinkable to re-impose a national blockade because of the unprecedented economic downfall caused by the first blockade in March.
Tunisia’s tourism-dependent economy fell by 21. 6% in this quarter compared to the same time last year due to the pandemic and measures to curb it, Reuters reports.
A spokesman for the UK Department of Health and Social Affairs told the Guardian that the government is confident of how many new infections have been recorded in the last 24 hours.
They said “new data” would be released in the coming days, “but to the extent that we don’t have a breakdown of what instances they are and which from a previous period. “
A technical challenge was blamed that caused confusion about the effects of old and new checks, and the spokesman stated that this would report cases over several days. “This challenge does not affect others who receive the effects of their Covid-19 check. All positive ladies won the effects of their Covid-19 check generally, ” they added.
All deferred effects refer to known cases between 24 September and 1 October.
“The challenge will be the total number of new instances published in the Covid-19 leaderboard over the next few days, which will be updated to provide accurate fully awareness of the total number of positive instances during this period,” the spokesman added.
The United Kingdom reported 12872 new cases of coronavirus in the 24 hours prior to Saturday, twice the amount reported a day earlier.
On Friday, 6,968 new infections were reported.
The figures, published daily at 16:00 GMT, were not published until shortly before 9:00 p. m. Saturday.
A government has reported a ‘technical problem’, which has now been resolved, of a ‘delay in the publication of a number of Covid-19 instances on the scoreboard in England. This means that the total reported over the next few days will arrive with a few more instances from September 24 to October 1, expanding the number of instances reported. “

Thousands of Israelis protested across the country on Saturday, ignoring a new law aimed at reducing protests against the government and a new national coronavirus blockade.
Street protests, just three days after parliament passed a decree to restrict the scope of the protests, pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his handling of the coronavirus crisis and for allegations of corruption, which he denies.
The new law prohibits Israelis from holding demonstrations more than one kilometer (about a mile) from their homes and imposes stricter social distancing, a measure the government says is aimed at reducing Covid-19 infections.
Critics have this a blow to freedom of expression.
Most of the protests on Saturday night were modest and dispersed across the country, a crowd of thousands accumulating in Tel Aviv.
A small number of protesters clashed with police and tried to block the streets of the city. Approximately 15 other people were arrested, a police spokesman said, according to Reuters.
Israel has shut down much of its economy and called on others to stay within a mile of their homes whenever it is imaginable to involve a momentary wave of coronavirus infections.
