(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) More than 9,000 newly diagnosed cases in a single day in Germany, the disease control agency said it has entered the fourth wave of epidemics
China News Agency, Berlin, August 20 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German disease control agency announced on the 20th that the number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus infections reached 9,280, the highest since mid-May this year. The country’s disease control agency said on the same day that Germany has officially entered the fourth wave of the new crown epidemic.
The German disease control agency Robert Koch Institute announced that the number of new confirmed cases and the number of new deaths were 9,280 and 13, respectively, with a total of 3,853,055 confirmed cases and a total of 9,1956 deaths. The German official morbidity index used to monitor the severity of the new crown epidemic (the cumulative number of new diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days) rebounded further on the same day, and the value rose to 48.8. Up to now, Germany has received 99 million doses of the new crown vaccine, and a total of 48,652,173 people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 58.5% of the country’s total population.
The Robert Koch Institute stated in an epidemic situation analysis report that day that Germany has officially entered the fourth wave of epidemics, and the positive rate of laboratory nucleic acid tests in the past week has increased by 4-6 percentage points.
The delta strain has now become the overwhelming majority of the new crown strains in Germany. According to a report from the Robert Koch Institute, as of this summer, 99% of the newly diagnosed new coronavirus cases in Germany were infected by the Delta strain.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, the most affected people in this round of the epidemic are younger people. Among them, the infection rate of the 10-49 age group has continued to rise since the beginning of July this year, especially the young and middle-aged people. The agency’s report shows that a certain number of the confirmed patients were infected in popular tourist destinations for Germans such as Balkan countries, Turkey and Spain.
What is worrying is that the number of hospitalized patients with the new crown in Germany has been showing a rebound trend again after it remained low for a while. The Robert Koch Institute warned in a report that people who have not received the first dose of the vaccine in Germany are facing a higher health risk. (Finish)
