Germany has recorded a sharp rise in coronavirus cases as the country's top disease expert warned a third wave of the disease has started. Germany has suffered a total of more than 2.5million Covid cases and 72,810 deaths'Europe should be worried,' RKI chief Robert Wieler said as the figures were revealed. Germany's surge in cases comes after it began gradually easing partial lockdown measures from late February. Only a select few countries including Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands have begun trying to ease measures.
