China News Agency, Berlin, November 23 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German disease control agency announced on the 23rd that the number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus infections was 10,864.
As of midnight on the 23rd, more than 940,000 people have been diagnosed in Germany.
On the same day, German Health Minister Spahn said that there is reason to be optimistic that the EU will approve the use of the new crown vaccine within this year. Once the vaccine is approved, Germany will immediately start vaccination.
According to real-time data from Germany's "Times Online", as of midnight on the 23rd local time, a total of 946,443 confirmed cases, 618,743 cured, and 14,601 died in Germany.
In the past seven days (November 17-23), 129,185 people were newly diagnosed.
Span made the above remarks in an exclusive interview with German media that day.
A few days ago, the new crown mRNA vaccine jointly developed by BioNTech and Pfizer has formally submitted an emergency use authorization (EUA) application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The final results of the third phase of the vaccine showed that its effective rate reached 95%.
Spang said that there is reason to be optimistic that a vaccine will be approved at the EU level within this year, and Germany will immediately start vaccination.
He said that he has urged states to ensure that the planned vaccination centers are ready before mid-December this year.
"It looks like it can be done."
Spann said that the German government has raised more than 300 million doses of vaccine through various means. Even if each person needs two doses, it is enough to cover the entire German population and can be shared with other countries.
He also announced on the same day that he would build a network platform to distribute the vaccines obtained according to age groups and regions.
The much-anticipated consultations between the German Federal Government and the states on the next step of epidemic prevention policies will be held on the 25th.
According to German media reports, all states currently generally support the extension of the second round of "city lockdown" that is about to expire until December 20th on Christmas Eve.
