A massive protest Saturday in Berlin against Germany’s coronavirus restrictions was shut down just hours after it began because the majority of attendees were not wearing face masks or socially distancing as is required. Berlin police estimate that 18,000 people were in attendance.
Berlin police tweeted that they had warned protesters several times to comply with the country’s coronavirus restrictions. Berlin has mandated that people remain approximately 5 feet apart and that people wear a face mask in public areas and indoor facilities. Public events with more than 1,000 people will not be allowed until September 1.
Soon after the warning, police tweeted “unfortunately, we have no other option” than to disband the demonstration. (CBS News)
