The tough restrictions to come into force from Monday, 2 November to the end of the month would limit contact outdoors to people from two households. Bars, cafes and restaurants must shut, although takeaways and delivery services can continue.

BERLIN - Germany on Wednesday ordered a new round of shutdowns for the cultural and leisure as well as food and drink sectors, in a bid to halt a surge in new coronavirus infections.

Theatres, operas and cinemas will also have to scrap their shows during what is traditionally their busiest season.

Health Minister Jens Spahn, who is working from home after testing positive for the virus, said urgent action was required.
