Dusseldorf, Germany is another eerily empty sight as coronavirus fears shutdown Europe.

Seen in this clip from Friday (March 20), all sorts of public venues, and streets can be seen near empty.

Due to the currently increasing number of people infected with the coronavirus in Germany, many public areas are currently being cordoned off. In this video, you can see a playground, which has been cordoned off to prevent children from getting infected with the new virus. After the speech of the Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, the population is urged to stay as little as possible in public to stop the spread of the virus. She appealed clearly to the German folk to keep the rules. If there is no flattening of the infection curve, the health system in Germany could be overloaded.

The current situation around the coronavirus has worsened considerably, especially in Germany. for this reason, german cities are much emptier than usual and people are trying to distance themselves. Even though there is not yet a fixed curfew in Germany, people are reasonable and avoid public places.

In Germany, most shops have already been closed to slow down the spread of the coronavirus in Germany. in addition, angela Merkel has appealed to the German society to leave the house only for important matters. in this video, you can see the düsseldorf rhine promenade. normally, there are a lot of tourists around here and people line up to take pictures of the rhine tower in the background. Apparently the people are sticking to the request to stay in their houses.

Many German cities are no longer charging parking fees during the corona pandemic. This should help to protect people in public transport from possible infection.
