Israelis
have already received the second dose of vaccine against the coronavirus.
Health Minister Juli Edelstein announced this on Twitter on Thursday.

4.7 million people received
the second dose.

5.2 million
, it had only increased slightly in the past few days.

The vaccination campaign in Israel began shortly before Christmas and is one of the most successful in the world.
In the past few weeks, the number of seriously ill and new infections has decreased significantly.
According to the national statistics office, 9.305 million people lived in the Mediterranean country in January.
Israel is a very young country, around 30 percent of its citizens are under 16 years old.

For comparison: around nine times as many people live in Germany.
So far more than 7.9 million people there have received the first vaccination and more than 3.5 million people have also received the second vaccination.

The RKI has counted
2,713,180
detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany
since the beginning of the pandemic
.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The RKI
stated the
number of those who had
recovered
at
around
2,456,200
.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to
75,440
.
According to the RKI management report on Wednesday evening, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
1.00
(previous day 1.04).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 100 more people.
The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.
If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides;
if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.

A third of Danes
reject a vaccination with the AstraZeneca agent, according to a survey by the opinion research institute Megafon among 1053 people, quoted in local media on Thursday.
Accordingly, the skepticism towards this vaccine is particularly high.
Only seven percent of those surveyed do not want to be vaccinated against corona, regardless of the vaccine.

Austria
, according to the Ministry of Health,
3289
new positive tests
were last
counted
within a day
, as reported by the Reuters news agency on Thursday.
There are currently 2086 people in hospital treatment for the coronavirus, 447 of them in intensive care units.
On February 8, Austria relaxed the lockdown nationwide and reopened trade and schools.
Since then, the number of infections has skyrocketed again.
The government therefore decided on a hard lockdown over Easter for the capital Vienna and two other federal states.
From April 1 to 6, public life in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland will be shut down completely and all shops not necessary for basic care will be closed, said Health Minister Rudolf Anschober on Wednesday evening after long negotiations with the heads of the affected countries.
Of the nine federal states of the Alpine republic, Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland are currently among the countries most severely affected by the virus.
The seven-day incidence there recently rose to just under 300. The remaining federal states have values of over 200, only Vorarlberg in the very west of the country has around 80.
