In Germany, which will soon exceed 10,000, the number of new infections detected daily could rise, according to the Robert Koch National Institute of Public Health (RKI).
The coronavirus epidemic in Germany could become uncontrollable. LTI, Lothar Wieler, president of the RKI, spoke at a briefing in Berlin on Thursday, according to an MTI report, that “very disturbing” processes had begun.
In the first days of October, twice as many cases were reported as a month earlier, the number of people needing intensive hospital treatment doubled and the number of infections detected in a week per 100,000 people increased from 20.2 at the beginning June, he said.
At the same time, consistent adherence to well-established rules introduced during the first wave could keep the epidemic under control in the fall-winter period and reduce a host of other communicable diseases, he added.
Health Minister Jens Spahn emphasized that Germany has performed well so far, “in the midst of a pandemic like a rock on a wave,” but the results should not be wasted with indiscipline.
