(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Germany newly diagnosed 15,000 cases in a single day, the highest since May
China News Agency, Berlin, September 9 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German disease control agency announced on the 9th that the number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus infections was 15,431, a record high in the country since the beginning of May this year. Frank Montgomery, president of the World Medical Association, called on Germany to adopt stricter epidemic prevention measures on the same day to extend the “2G rule” to the whole country, that is, most indoor places only allow people who have been fully vaccinated and those who have recovered from the new crown to enter. .
The German disease control agency Robert Koch Institute announced that the number of newly diagnosed new crown virus infections and the number of new deaths were 15,431 and 50, respectively. As of that day, a total of 4,046,112 people were diagnosed and 92,498 people died. The hospitalization rate index released by the agency that day (that is, the average number of people hospitalized for every 100,000 residents in the past seven days due to infection with the new crown) rose to 1.89 from 1.79 the day before. As of that day, Germany had received a total of 133.6 million doses of the new crown vaccine, and a total of 51,329,215 people had been fully vaccinated, accounting for 61.7% of the country’s total population.
The day before, Willer, director of the Robert Koch Institute, had warned that the fourth wave of the epidemic that is spreading in Germany may develop to a very serious degree. Frank Montgomery, the chairman of the German World Medical Association, told the newspaper of the German Funk Media Group that in order to contain the fourth wave of the epidemic before it becomes very serious, Germany should replace the current “2G rule” nationwide. “3G Rules”.
The “3G rule” means that only three types of people are allowed to enter most indoor places, including those who have been fully vaccinated, those who have recovered from infection with the new crown, and those who have a negative test result for the new crown. The “2G rule” removes the negative results of the new crown on the basis of the former, that is, only the first two types of people can enter most indoor places. At present, only a few states such as Hamburg and some cities in Germany have adopted the “2G rules”, and most federal states such as Berlin still implement the “3G rules.”
Montgomery said that in places where the “2G rule” cannot be implemented, such as on public transportation, at least the enhanced version of the “3G rule” should be implemented, that is, PCR nucleic acid testing should replace the current antigen rapid test. He emphasized that such measures can be used as a necessary means to motivate people to vaccinate. (over)
