Germany on Monday reported its lowest increase in coronavirus deaths in a 24-hour period since March 25, the country's centre for disease control said.

According to data from the Robert Koch Institute, 43 people died of symptoms related to Covid-19 between Sunday and Monday, bringing the total number of nationwide fatalities to 6,692.

The number of new infections in Germany also remains relatively low, with 679 new cases confirmed.

In the same 24-hour time span, around 2,200 people recovered from the virus.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has previously said that a continued drop in new infections and expanded contact tracing will be key to further easing restrictions meant to combat the pandemic.

Merkel is set to meet with German state governors on Wednesday to talk about reopening the country's economy.
