Yesterday, German health experts warned that the outbreak of the new Corona virus may "get out of control" in Germany, at a time when the number of infections is rising across Europe, while governments prepare to re-impose some lockdown measures.

Meanwhile, the European Commission said that it had received additional doses of the drug "Remdisfer" approved to treat "Corona".

In detail, German officials have sounded the alarm due to the "alarming increase" in the number of HIV infections, after the country's relative success in containing the virus was met with numerous praises.

The number of recorded injuries daily in Germany exceeded 4000 for the first time since the beginning of April.

Lothar Feller, director of the Robert Koch Institute for Disease Control and Prevention in Germany, warned: "We do not know how the situation in Germany will develop in the coming weeks."

"We may record more than 10,000 cases per day, and the virus may spread out of control," he added.

I hope that does not happen ».

The increase in the number of injuries coincided with the autumn holidays in many regions of the country, which prompted the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel to call on residents to avoid traveling abroad.

German Health Minister Jens Young said that many young people "party and travel and think they are invincible."

"But they are not," he added, calling on them to think about the danger they expose their elderly relatives to.

And the results of an opinion poll in Germany showed that two-thirds of the country's population supports the nightly closure of restaurants and bars in the capital, Berlin, in light of the increase in the number of Corona injuries.

The results of the poll, conducted by YouGov polling institute, showed that 21% of those surveyed said they would support the decision, while 45% said they fully support it.

On the other hand, 11% expressed a tendency to reject the decision, or reject it completely.
