DW News published this video item, entitled “Pandemic dynamics: How to prevent the next lockdown | COVID-19 Special” – below is their description.

Measures are becoming more targeted. In Germany, non-essential shops and recreational venues are off bounds for the unvaccinated. Pandemic dynamics mean whatever the measures, it’s the timing that counts.
It’s a balancing act – the right measures to protect our lives and our livelihoods. Even the countries we thought were handling this pandemic so well are struggling to get the balance right.
