Yesterday, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier appealed to the international community to join hands in combating the emerging corona virus (Covid-19), especially with regard to the issue of vaccines, calling for vaccines to be made available to all.

In a video recording on the occasion of the opening of the "World Health Summit", Steinmeier called for support for the international vaccination initiative "Kovacs", an initiative launched by the World Health Organization, which works to achieve a fair distribution among poor countries as well.

It is noteworthy that the World Health Summit, which includes lectures and panel discussions, was originally scheduled to be held in the capital, Berlin, with the participation of about 2,000 people, but due to the Corona epidemic, this event was transformed into a digital conference in which the participants consult through video.

In a related context, the total number of confirmed cases of "Corona" in Germany reached 434 thousand and 798 cases, as of yesterday, after 11,176 new cases were recorded within 24 hours, while the number of deaths reached 10,035 cases, and 315,782 people have recovered so far. .

The rate of new infections with the Corona virus in Munich, the capital of the German state of Bavaria, exceeded a new warning value.

According to figures issued by the Robert Koch Institute for Virus Research, yesterday, the rate of new infections in Munich per 100,000 people in the past seven days has reached 100.6 cases, so that the warning indicator jumps to the "bright red" color.

Residents of municipalities, which have more than 100 infection rates, must prepare to face severe restrictions in daily life, including the necessity to close restaurants from nine in the evening.
