German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced a national lockdown from Wednesday to combat a growing number of coronavirus cases.
Non-essential shops and schools are to close under the measure which will last until 10 January.
Chancellor Merkel, announcing the move after meeting leaders of the country's 16 states, said there was "an urgent need to take action".
Restaurants and bars have already been closed for the past six weeks, and some areas of the country had imposed their own lockdowns.
Under the national lockdown, essential shops, such as those selling food, will stay open, as can banks.
Care homes will be mandated to carry out coronavirus tests. New Year events and the sale of fireworks will be banned.
