Aerial Views Of Berlin During The Coronavirus Crisis

BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 23: (EDITOR'S NOTE: Photo taken with a drone.) In this aerial view the plaza in front of the Mercedes-Benz Arena, which under normal circumstances draws visitors to its shops and restaurants, stands nearly empty during the coronavirus crisis on March 23, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. The coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, are having a fundamental impact on society, government and the economy in Germany. Public life has been restricted to the essentials in an effort by authorities to slow the spread of infections. Hospitals are scrambling to increase their testing and care capacity. An economic recession seems likely as economic activity is slowed and many businesses are temporarily closed. Schools, daycare centers and universities remain shuttered. And government, both federal and state, seek to mobilize resources and find adequate policies to confront the virus and mitigate its impact. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
