On Friday, the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) reported 400 new cases of corona in one day for the first time since mid-April. However, Stefan Kuster from BAG was not concerned about the development. The number of reproductions is just below 1, says the head of communicable diseases at FOPH.
This means that there is no exponential growth. The situation is also stable in terms of hospitalizations and deaths. The efforts of the population and the cantons are paying off, Kuster said.
70,000 tests
How the situation will unfold cannot be predicted, Kuster said. That depends on the return of travelers, on the effects of the approval of major events, and autumn can also play a role. Everyone is called to avoid a steep climb again.
More than 70,000 people were tested last week. Three-quarters of the new cases affect people under 40 years of age. (SDA / gbl)
