\n BERLIN \u2014 Thousands protested Germany\u2019s coronavirus restrictions Saturday in a Berlin demonstration marking what organizers called \u201cthe end of the pandemic\u201d \u2014 a declaration that comes just as authorities are voicing increasing concerns about an uptick in new infections.<\/p>\n

With few masks in sight, a dense crowd marched through downtown Berlin from the Brandenburg Gate.<\/p>\n

Protesters who came from across the country held up homemade signs with slogans like \u201cCorona, false alarm,\u201d \u201cWe are being forced to wear a muzzle,\u201d \u201cNatural defense instead of vaccination\u201d and \u201cWe are the second wave.\u201d<\/p>\n

They chanted, \u201cWe\u2019re here and we\u2019re loud, because we are being robbed of our freedom!\u201d<\/p>\n

Police used bullhorns to chide participants to adhere to social<\/a> distancing rules and to wear masks, app<\/a>arently with little success. They tweeted that they drew up a criminal complaint against the rally\u2019s organizer for failing to enforce hygiene rules, then said shortly afterward that the organizer had ended the march.<\/p>\n

Police estimated about 17,000 people turned out. The demonstrators were kept apart from counter protesters, some of whom chanted \u201cNazis out!\u201d<\/p>\n

Protesters continued to a subsequent rally on a boulevard running through the city\u2019s Tiergarten park, which police estimated drew 20,000 people. Police declared that event over as organizers again failed to get demonstrators to wear masks or keep their distance.<\/p>\n

Protests against anti-virus restrictions in Germany have drawn a variety of attendees, including conspiracy theorists and right-wing populists.<\/p>\n

Unlike the U.S., Brazil and Britain, Germany\u2019s government has been praised worldwide for its management of the pandemic. The country\u2019s death toll \u2014 just over 9,150 people out of more than 210,670 confirmed virus cases as of Saturday \u2014 is five times less than Britain\u2019s, which has a smaller population.<\/p>\n

The German government has been easing lockdown measures since late April but social distancing rules remain, as does a requirement to wear masks on public transit and in shops.<\/p>\n

Officials have been warning against complacency as the number of new COVID-19 cases has crept up recently. Amid concerns about residents bringing home infections from summer trip<\/a>s abroad, officials introduced free tests for people entering the country.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s national disease control center registered 955 new cases Friday, a high figure by recent standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands of #covidiots are celebrating themselves in Berlin as \u2018the second wave,\u2019 without distancing, without masks,\u201d tweeted Saskia Esken, a co-leader of the Social Democrats, the junior party in Germany\u2019s governing coalition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not just endangering our health, they are endangering our success against the pandemic and for the revival of the economy, education and society. Irresponsible!\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
