Infection rates remain stable according to RKI's latest report
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has reported a plateau in new coronavirus cases, with 22,046 new cases on Thursday morning. However, the situation remains very tense, as stated by Lothar Wieler, President of the RKI.
In recent weeks, a notable outbreak occurred at the educational and care home St. Martin in Düngenheim, Germany, where nine residents and six staff members tested positive for COVID-19. This highlights the increasing number of outbreaks in nursing and care homes, contributing to the ongoing pandemic in Germany.
The number of deaths reported within 24 hours by the RKI reached 479, one of the highest values so far in the pandemic. This grim statistic underscores the need for continued vigilance and adherence to safety measures.
Despite a slight decrease in new cases compared to the previous Thursday, with 1.0 percent fewer cases reported by the RKI, the number of people still being infected with the virus is concerning. Lothar Wieler predicts many more deaths in the coming weeks, a warning that underlines the seriousness of the situation.
The RKI's reporting of new coronavirus cases and deaths continues to be a significant factor in understanding the pandemic's progression in Germany. The institute sees no trend reversal in the development of the corona situation in Germany, emphasizing the need for continued precautions and public health measures.
As the pandemic continues to evolve, it is crucial for the public to stay informed and follow guidelines to protect themselves and others. The RKI will continue to provide updates and insights to help navigate this challenging situation.
