In Germany, 11,287 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the last day.
It is still possible to control the coronavirus “through systematic restrictive measures, but the overall situation has become very dire,” Wieler said.
In Germany, as in other European countries, the number of new COVID-19 cases has increased rapidly in recent weeks.
Wieler said the sharp increase in the number of new COVID-19 cases was largely due to private gatherings of young people.
“The more people gather in private circles, the more the numbers increase and the more the virus spreads,” he said, emphasizing that “the majority of young people are currently infected with the virus.”
Wieler urged residents to follow the rules, but warned that in some regions the spread of the coronavirus may already be out of control.
On Saturday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel asked residents to stay home more often.
“The next days and weeks will determine what winter will be like, what our Christmas will be like,” Merkel said.
In Germany, a total of 392,049 COVID-19 cases and 9,905 deaths from the disease have been reported.
