Hundreds of people were arrested at a massive anti-coronavirus restriction protest in Berlin.

An estimated 38,000 people attended the Saturday demonstration, which the Berlin government had tried to prevent, given the coronavirus pandemic. Despite officials’ attempts to stop the gathering, a court allowed the protest to go forward as long as social distancing was maintained. Berlin police said that the demonstrators did not do so.
