The approval of the Germans to the corona course of the federal government drops significantly.

According to a survey by the Allensbach opinion research institute for the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”, only 49 percent are satisfied with it - 42 percent, however, are dissatisfied.

So far, according to the Allensbach surveys, the government has always been able to count on overwhelming approval.

The numbers from the Robert Koch Institute are late on Thursday morning.

According to the Johns Hopkins University, Germany has reported 15,636 new infections with the coronavirus and 879 deaths related to Covid-19 in the past 24 hours.

The Association of Towns and Municipalities warns against loosening the corona restrictions too early.

These should only be provided when "the number of health authorities with low incidences continues to increase significantly and leads to a nationwide development", quote the newspapers of the Funke Mediengruppe chief executive Gerd Landsberg in a preliminary report.

So far, fewer than 30 of the 412 health authority districts have reached an incidence rate of less than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week.
