China News Agency, Berlin, March 27 (Reporter Peng Dawei) As of the 27th, the number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus infections in a single day announced by the German CDC has exceeded 20,000 for the third consecutive day.

On the same day, German Federal Minister of Health Span stated that it is necessary for Germany to implement a rigid "cities lockdown" for 10-14 days.

  In recent days, the German epidemic has continued to rebound.

The German disease control agency announced that the number of new confirmed cases and the number of new deaths were 20,472 and 157 respectively.

The number of newly diagnosed people in the previous two days (25th and 26th) was 22,657 and 21,573 respectively.

According to real-time data from Germany's "Times Online", as of 20 o'clock on the 27th local time, a total of 2,770,442 people were diagnosed, 2,477,265 people were cured, and 76,514 people died in Germany.

So far, Germany has received 12,363,439 doses of vaccine, and a total of 37,680,060 people received the second dose.

  Span made the above remarks when attending an online dialogue event that day.

As an important indicator for Germany’s official monitoring of the severity of the epidemic, the country’s “average cumulative number of new cases per 100,000 people in seven days” has risen to 124.9, the highest value since January 19 this year.

In this regard, Span said that taking into account the current epidemic data, Germany needs 10 to 14 days to "at least truly minimize our interpersonal contact and travel."

  Spann said that he himself hopes to be able to reunite with his family during Easter, but this year's situation does not allow it.

He emphasized that if the wave of the epidemic can be contained before it worsens in April, the country's newly confirmed cities and regions (such as Tübingen) will be gradually "unblocked."

  Span also said that although Germany's ICU wards are once again full of patients with new coronary disease, the number of elderly people among these patients has decreased.

He said that people have seen that the vaccination is working, but there are still a few weeks to overcome the difficulties. "This will be very difficult. If we fail to stop this wave of epidemics, the medical system will be overloaded." Finish)
