The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak of 2020 in Germany has led to a large share of the population spending more time at home. This may be the result of having to work from home, as well as being in isolation or even quarantine. Additionally, on March 23, the German government implemented an ongoing contact ban on gatherings and in public spaces. One of the consequences is rising media consumption in households. As of March 2020, national digital newspapers have recorded 27.7 million unique users. This was an increase compared to the 25.6 million registered a week before.
