The leading index is now around 14 percent away from its interim high at the beginning of September at 13,460 points.
The MDax of the 60 medium-sized stocks closed on Wednesday with a loss of 2.71 percent at 25,884.13 points.
The leading Eurozone index EuroStoxx 50 fell by 3.5 percent to just under 2964 points.
In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial was down 3.0 percent at the close of trading in Europe.
The new restrictions are intended to prevent the uncontrollable spread of the epidemic.

Delivery Hero is one of the beneficiaries of the Corona crisis.
