BERLIN (Reuters) - The number of workers in Germany on reduced hours has risen to 7.3 million, a poll of economic institute Ifo showed on Tuesday, as the coronavirus pandemic is affecting almost all sectors.

The number compares with around 1.5 million workers on short-time during the financial crisis in May 2009, Ifo added.
