Hospitals in the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg have offered to treat some critically ill coronavirus patients from the neighbouring Alsace region in France, which is struggling to cope with a rising number of cases.

“We are sending a sign of solidarity to our French neighbours,” state science minister Theresia Bauer said in the statement.
