'The virus is real...it moves fast and it kills' -WHO

Berlin police broke up a mass protest against coronavirus curbs on Saturday and arrested 300 in the German capital after demonstrators failed to keep their distance and wear masks as instructed.

Elsewhere in Europe, about 200 anti-mask activists held a rally in Paris to protest against sanitary measures, with slogans such as "No to the health dictatorship" and "Let our children breathe."

In London, several hundred demonstrators gathered in Trafalgar Square calling coronavirus a hoax and demanding an end to restrictions.
