Germany's health minister is urging event organisers to consider postponing any gatherings with more than 1,000 people as a measure to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Jens Spahn told the dpa news agency on Sunday that in his view, organizers are still going ahead with too many events like sports games, concerts and trade fairs.

He says "I am aware of the consequences this will have for citizens and organizers we will talk about how we will deal with the economic consequences in the next few days."
