LIVE: Protest in Berlin to mark 1 year anniversary of COVID restrictions

Protesters are rallying in Berlin on Saturday, March 13, to mark one year since the first restrictions were put in place in Germany to tackle the COVID pandemic. ​Anti-lockdown rallies are expected to take place in several cities in the country. Last year, most German states closed schools and nurseries on March 13, the same day the Bundesliga decided to postpone all its football matches. The first state to limit public movement was Bavaria on March 16 after a state of emergency was introduced.
