In Germany, the proportion of infected crowns has risen again, just days after Chancellor Angela Merker announced she would ease the restrictions: museums, playgrounds and churches have reopened and a week ago hundreds of students were able to return to school .
But the so-called R number (which indicates how many people each infected self-infection) has increased to 1.1, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) of the German Federal Infection Protection Authority. An R number greater than 1 means that the spread of infection is increasing. As of Friday, RKI estimated the value to be 0.83.
“First integral wave”
But we don’t see such a strong second wave in Sweden, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell believes.
– It is considerably smaller because we have had a more extensive first wave. I don’t know exactly, but a large proportion of our population is affected, has had the disease, and is immune. But the countries that came quickly with very harsh measures, there are still many people who can get infected, Tegnell tells SVT and continues.
“No disease that will go away”
Although the second wave in Sweden is said to be milder, Tegnell believes the corona virus will return.
– This is not a disease that will go away. Without it, it will always take action to keep you away. Or far, I never think you can keep it, but rather keep it to a reasonable level, says Anders Tegnell.
Five new deaths were reported on Sunday, which means 3,225 people have died with covid-19 in Sweden. Tegnell believes that development in Sweden is stable at this time.
– It is a fairly calm development. It’s a little up and down, but there’s no sign that we’re going to crash in either direction, says Anders Tegnell.
