Due to the huge increase in crown numbers, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will plan a ‘closing light’.
Sedan. According to information from “Bild”, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is planning a “shutdown light”. The reason for this is the huge increase in the number of crown in Germany. In a leaked secret document that the “Bild” has, Merkel’s plan should contain the following points:
-
Restaurants and bars have to close for now: a total ban on events will be issued as part of this
-
Schools and kindergartens remain open, except in circles with “catastrophic numbers of infections”
-
The stores will remain open for the time being, but with restrictions.
According to information from “Bild”, the German chancellor could already negotiate a corresponding model with the country’s leaders on Wednesday. Originally, the crisis meeting should not have taken place until Friday, but now it has moved forward to Wednesday. Merkel had previously warned of an “escalation” of the coronavirus pandemic. According to the Chancellor, the measures taken in the fight against the virus would not have been harsh enough.
The numbers continue to rise: 8,685 new infections in Germany
According to the Robert Koch Institute, German health authorities reported 8,685 new corona infections in one day early Monday. Experience has shown that the number of cases on Sundays and Mondays is lower, also because fewer tests are carried out on weekends. On Monday a week ago, the number of new infections in 24 hours was 4,325.
14,714 new infections were reached on Saturday, a new record since the start of the corona pandemic in Germany. The death toll surpassed 10,000 over the weekend.
According to the RKI, a total of 437,866 people across Germany have been infected with the virus since the beginning of the pandemic (until October 26, 00:00). The number of deaths related to the virus rose 24 through Monday to a total of 10,056. The RKI estimates that around 321,600 people have recovered.
The number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.45 in Germany according to the RKI situation report on Sunday (previous day: 1.36). This means that 10 infected people infect almost 15 other people. The R value represents the infection rate approximately one and a half weeks earlier.
In addition, the RKI includes the so-called seven-day R in its management report. The value refers to a longer period of time and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value was 1.39 on Saturday (previous day: 1.38). It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago.
