In view of the continued high number of corona infections, the federal government has once again urged people to refrain from contact over Christmas.

“Avoid traveling.

Avoid, if possible, visiting relatives and friends, ”said the deputy government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer on Monday in Berlin.

"If Christmas is not going to make the situation worse, then we should all stay at home." Far too many people were still infected.

Great caution and caution are still required.

As the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced on Monday, 16,643 new cases of infection were reported within one day - on Monday of last week there were 16,362.

The numbers are generally lower at the beginning of the week, partly because there is less testing on the weekend.

The health authorities also now reported 226 new deaths in 24 hours.
