Germanium tetrachloride is covalent, just like carbon tetrachloride or silicon tetrachloride. All nasty stuff.

Germanium atoms are hold together through covalent bonds, although they have more metallic character than carbon and silicon.

Germanium, metalloid with a similar structure to silicon- 4 covalent bonds per germanium atomPhosphorus, the most familiar form is white phosphorus which is molecular, consisting of P4 units, each P atom has 3 covalent bonds, other allotropes are not discrete molecules but all have 3 covalent bonds per P atomSelenium This is molecular in Se8 rings each Se atom has two covalent bondsChlorine this is a diatomic gas with a single covalent bond

Ask your Chemistry teacher about this.
You can see this happen in the F2 molecule. Each fluorine atom shares a valence electron with the other fluorine atom. So there is just one covalent bond.
