Bavaria restricts personal movement
It has become the first German state to order widespread restrictions on personal movement.
Stopping short of imposing a full lockdown, the state prime minister, Markus Soeder, said that, as of Saturday, leaving the house was only allowed with good reason, including going to work, shopping, visits to the doctor or pharmacy, supporting others or visiting partners.
Outdoor sports and activity are still allowed, but only alone or with people from the same household.

Trump says companies will make 'millions of masks'
US President Donald Trump says he will use the Defence Production Act - a law that dates back to the Korean War that allows the government to direct American industries to manufacture tools needed by the government.
Speaking at the White House he pledged “millions of masks” would be made and delivered to the American people.
Earlier this week he pledged that the law would only be invoked in a worst-case scenario.
