Ruptly is live from the border crossing in Frankfurt an der Oder on Saturday, November 28, as Polish and German coronavirus sceptics protest against the current COVID-19 restrictions. Corona sceptics and counter-protesters are expected to join the demonstrations from several German federal states and Polish provinces.
After Germany experienced record increases in the number of coronavirus cases in October, the country entered a partial lockdown on November 2, now extended until December 20, with restaurants limited to takeaway service only.
Theatres, cinemas, and public recreation centres including swimming pools, gyms, and saunas are to stay closed, while new restrictions have been put in place to limit social contact.
