Xinhua News Agency, Berlin, May 19 (Reporter Tian Ying) According to German media reports on the 19th, since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, more than 20,400 medical personnel in Germany have been infected with the new crown virus, of which 61 people died and about 19,100 people recovered.
The media quoted data from the German disease control agency Robert Koch Institute as saying that among the medical staff infected with the new coronavirus, more than 11,800 people work in hospitals, clinics and other medical institutions, and more than 8,500 people work in pension and care institutions.
According to the new crown epidemic situation data released by the Robert Koch Institute on the 19th, as of that day, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Germany was 175,210, an increase of 513 from the previous day; the cumulative deaths were 8,007, an increase of 72 from the previous day.
The German Federal Government and the states reached an agreement on May 6 that stipulates a “warning line” for relaxing prevention and control measures. Once a place reaches the level of 50 new cases per 100,000 people within 7 days, it must restore the corresponding "Fengcheng" initiative.
On the 19th, Bavaria raised the "warning line" standard, stipulating that once the state has accumulated 35 new cases per 100,000 people within 7 days, it must restore strict prevention and control measures. Earlier, Berlin had raised the “warning line” standard to 7 days, and for every 100,000 people a total of 30 new cases occurred, the ban must be restored.
