On March 13, the Bundesligaย announcedย it was suspending all matches through at least April 2 because of growing concerns about the pandemic.ย The league laterย extended that suspensionย through the end of April as the virus continued to spread across Europe.
Per CNN'sย Henrikย Pettersson, Byronย Manley andย Sergioย Hernandez, Germany'sย 167,239ย confirmed COVID-19 diagnoses are the sixth-highest total of any country.
Despite that,ย Billy Perrigoย ofย Timeย noted on March 30 the country's mortality rate of 0.9 percent was among the lowest in the world.ย The speculated reason: widespread testing that allowed the country to identify infected patients and get them in quarantine.
