Several German states are seeking to extend Germany's anti-Covid restrictions into April as the country battles a third wave of the virus, according to a draft plan obtained by AFP on Sunday. The restrictions would be prolonged until a yet-to-be-determined date in April due to the high rate of infections at present, which are being "accelerated by Covid-19 variants", the document said. The memo is set to serve as the basis of a meeting between Merkel and regional leaders on Monday. pw-jpl/ylf/hmn/tgb
