China News Agency, Berlin, March 13 (Reporter Peng Dawei) As of the 13th, the number of newly diagnosed new crown virus infections in Germany in a single day has exceeded 10,000 for three consecutive days.
The epidemic situation report released by the German disease control agency that day predicted that during Easter this year, the number of new cases in a single day in the country may rebound to more than 30,000, and "the cumulative number of newly diagnosed cases per 100,000 people in seven days" may or Will exceed last year's peak after Easter.
The German disease control agency announced that the number of new confirmed cases and deaths were 12,674 and 239, respectively.
According to real-time data from Germany's "Times Online", as of 21:00 local time on the 13th, Germany had a total of 2,570,124 diagnosed, 2,352,302 cured, and 74,008 dead in Germany.
As of that day, Germany has received 8,863,270 doses of vaccine, of which 2,749,786 people have received the second dose.
The Robert Koch Institute, a German disease control agency, gave the aforementioned prediction results in the daily epidemic situation report released that day.
The report predicts that the spread of the new crown virus in Germany will increase significantly in the next few weeks, and it is expected that the number of new confirmed cases per day will return to more than 30,000 during Easter.
According to the report, based on the current trend of epidemic data, by the 14th week of this year (the week after the Easter holiday), the number of new cases in a single day is expected to exceed the peak set during the Christmas period last year.
The report predicts that the “accumulated number of new diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days” officially used by the German authorities to monitor the severity of the epidemic is expected to rise to 300 in the 14th week of this year after Easter.
As of the 13th, this value was 76 across Germany.
The report further predicts that by the 15th week, this value will rise to 350.
The report also pointed out that this indicator may fluctuate between 200-500 around Easter.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, it has been observed that the B.1.1.7 mutant strain first discovered in the United Kingdom spreads particularly rapidly in Germany.
The agency pointed out that this mutant strain is not only more transmissible, it may also cause severe illness more easily than other strains.
However, the agency also believes that there is no evidence so far that the B.1.1.7 variant strain will significantly reduce the effectiveness of several approved vaccines.
