Policja rozgania protestujących przeciw lockdown-owi w Niemczech.



Police fire water cannons in Berlin anti-corona lockdown protest.

Police in Germany have fired water cannon and pepper spray at anti-coronavirus restriction protesters.

Officers in Berlin said the thousands of demonstrators refused to heed their requests to wear face masks and social distance in line with regulations.
Police detained 190 people while nine officers were injured.

The protests happened as German MPs debated a bill that will give the government the legal backing to issue social distancing rules, close shops and other venues, prevent drinking in public and require masks to be worn in public to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Most people in Germany are in support of the measures but a vocal minority has staged frequent rallies around the country arguing that the restrictions are unconstitutional.
