In Germany, daily infections have once again exceeded two thousand, the highest figure for the month and which had not been reached since the second half of August. The value of almost 2,200 new coronavirus cases in Germany “is not an ordinary fluctuation, but now we are facing growth again.” So said the best-known face of German virologists, Christian Drosten. The growth in August, when the number of 2,000 new cases was surpassed in 24 hours, was the result of the returns from the holidays, while now “it could be new clusters not yet discovered,” Drosten said.
