BERLIN - Germany came under pressure on Monday to introduce mandatory coronavirus testing for holidaymakers returning from high-risk countries to prevent driving up infections in Europe's largest economy.
On Friday, Germany agreed that authorities would offer returning holidaymakers from countries designated as high risk - which currently include the United States, Brazil and Turkey - free tests on a voluntary basis. Germany has recorded more than 205,000 cases and more than 9,000 deaths, with the number of new daily cases jumping to a two-month high on Friday.
