German officials are expected on Wednesday to agree to extend until Dec. 20 a “lockdown light” they imposed on Nov. 2 that means bars, restaurants and entertainment venues must stay closed, while shops and schools can remain open.

The pandas are seated at the restaurant’s tables and propped up at the bar, some with bottles of Corona beer.
