BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's seven-day rate of COVID-19 cases fell below a key threshold for the first time in nearly two months on Friday, paving the way for virus restrictions to be lifted if infections continue to fall.

The number of infections per 100,000 people fell to 96.5 - the first time it has fallen below the 100 level since March 20 - from almost 126 a week ago, data from the RKI public health institute showed.
