HELSINKI, April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kamux's physical showrooms in Germany are open again.

"It is really good news that Germany has flattened the curve of new infections and the spread of the coronavirus is under control.

We are prepared for these and our stores are provided with signs and instructions to ensure the health of our customers and employees," say Mr. Oliver Michels, Country Director of Kamux Germany.
