China News Agency, Berlin, February 2 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The number of newly confirmed cases of new coronavirus infection announced by the German CDC on the 2nd exceeded 200,000 once more. As of that day, the cumulative number of confirmed infections in Germany has exceeded 10 million.
The German disease control agency Robert Koch Institute announced on the 2nd that the number of new diagnoses and the number of new deaths were 208,498 and 196, respectively. As of that day, a total of 10,186,644 people have been diagnosed and 118,170 people have died. This data on the day not only means that the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Germany has exceeded 10 million for the first time since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, but it is also the second time that the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day in the country has exceeded 200,000 in less than a week. And refreshed the extreme value on January 27 (203,136 cases).
Among them, the country’s official “average cumulative seven-day cumulative number of confirmed cases per 100,000 people” (morbidity index) used to monitor the severity of the epidemic rose to 1,227.5 on the same day, which has set a new high since the outbreak for several consecutive weeks. The number of patients requiring intensive care in the ICU increased by 50 from the previous day, with a total of 2,307. As of that day, a total of 165.4 million doses of the new crown vaccine have been vaccinated in Germany, and a total of 61.6 million people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 74.1% of the country’s total population; 44.3 million people have received booster shots, accounting for 53.3% of the total population.
Although the epidemic situation in European countries is still generally severe, several European countries such as Denmark and Finland have announced that they will relax epidemic prevention measures. In response to this situation, German federal government spokesman Herberstedt said in Berlin that day that German officials have no such plans.
Herberstedt said that the current development of the epidemic in Germany is still in a stage of rapid rise. Although there have been initial signs of a slowdown in the epidemic in northern Germany, it is foreseeable that Germany “will be close to the peak of the epidemic in the next 14 days. “. He pointed out that this means that the number of new confirmed cases in a single day will be much higher than the current level, and it will be possible to discuss the “unblocking” steps following that.
In response to the federal and state epidemic policy meeting to be held on the 16th of this month, Herberstedt said that he did not think that a road map for “unblocking” would be proposed at this meeting. (Finish)
