BERLIN – Germany has confirmed more than 7,000 new coronavirus infections for the first time, its second consecutive daily record.
The Robert Kock Institute, Germany’s national disease control center, said early Friday that 7,334 new cases were confirmed in the previous 24 hours. That compares with 6,638 a day earlier.

Earlier this week, the federal and state governments agreed to toughen mask – wearing rules and make bars close early in areas where infections are high.
