China News Agency, Berlin, March 1 (Reporter Peng Dawei) According to data released by the German disease control agency on the 1st, the cumulative number of deaths due to the new crown virus in the country has exceeded 70,000.
In response to the resumption of classes in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens throughout Germany, and the resumption of barber shops from the 1st, German Federal Government spokesperson Sebet emphasized that it is not time to be lax about the epidemic. It is necessary to pay close attention to the development of the epidemic and adopt cautious measures. The next step is "unblocking" measures.
The German disease control agency announced on the 1st that the number of newly diagnosed new crown virus infections was 4,732.
As of that day, the cumulative number of deaths due to the new crown in Germany has reached 70,105.
According to real-time data from Germany's "Times Online", as of 20:33 on the 1st local time, a total of 2,456,500 people have been diagnosed and 2,255,489 have been cured in Germany.
According to data from the German Ministry of Health, as of that day, Germany had received 6,174,362 doses of vaccine, of which 2,095,255 people received the second dose.
On the 3rd of this month, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will hold consultations with state governors on whether to extend the "closure" measures that expire on March 7.
At present, many politicians and economic figures, including Deputy Prime Minister Schultz of the Social Democratic Party, are calling for further relaxation of the current epidemic prevention and blockade measures.
In this regard, Sybet stated at a federal press conference held in Berlin that day that the data showed that the epidemic has entered a "promising stage, but it is not yet a stage that can be relaxed."
He said that the number of newly diagnosed cases in Germany in a single day has rebounded again in recent days, and the mutated strains of the new crown virus continue to spread within the country.
With the reopening of primary and secondary schools and kindergartens and the reopening of barbershops, a large wave of "unblocking" has been formed. Therefore, it is necessary to first observe the impact of the current "unblocking" of local areas on the epidemic, and then proceed cautiously. The next step is "unblocking" measures.
Saibet emphasized that the government's purpose is to avoid destroying the anti-epidemic results achieved, and to avoid having to return to the state before the "unblocking" after a period of time.
