Germany started their lockdown on 22nd March, UKs was announced on 23rd. Not a great difference. Sweden is yet to have a similar lockdown. As Germany had less cases in the first place, they have the spare testing capacity. Not all areas of Germany are as affected, eg Eastern Germany.

The former East has generally been less affected. German media has suggested this could be linked to a lower population density and a less developed economy which makes encounters between global jet-setters less likely.

It all going to depend on points of introduction of the virus and the sorts of connections those "points" make with others.

The rising number of cases, after the daily count had fallen to a two-week low on Monday, is a setback to German hopes of ending the lockdown.
