Germany's Empty Public Spaces As Coronavirus Crisis Continues Unabated

BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 31: A woman wearing a protective mask sits in a nearly deserted U-Bahn subway train at Alexanderplatz station, which at that time of day would usually be crowded with people hurrying to work, during the coronavirus crisis on March 31, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. Public life in Germany has been severely dampened by far-reaching government measures meant to stem the spread of the coronavirus. Shops are closed, assembly lines slowed or stopped, restaurants shuttered and schools shut down. People are still allowed to go outside, but only for essentials or personal exercise. The number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection has now topped 60,000 nationwide and at least 500 people have died. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
