Thousands turned out in Berlin today to protest the governments coronavirus measures, despite bans against several planned gatherings, AP reports.
Police banned nine planned demonstrations for Saturday, including one from the Stuttgart-based Querdenker movement, the most visible anti-lockdown movement in Germany. A court ruled in favor of allowing one protest, planned for 500 people, on Saturday and Sunday.
