China News Agency, Berlin, April 26 (Reporter Peng Dawei) As of the evening of the 26th local time, the cumulative number of people diagnosed with the new crown virus in Germany has exceeded 3.31 million.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced after meeting with the governors of the states that the federal government and the states have agreed to cancel the current priority level of new crown vaccination in June this year.
She also said that those who have been vaccinated and who have recovered from the new coronary pneumonia will have more freedom in the future.
On April 24, 2021, local time, Germany, the new German epidemic prevention regulations that adopted a nationally unified standard curfew for the first time came into effect.
German Chancellor Merkel said on the 24th that people very much hope that there will be an easier way to stop and reverse the third wave of the epidemic, but there is no other choice but to implement more stringent new regulations.
The German Federal Government declared India a mutated area of the new crown virus on the same day, and will ban people other than German citizens from entering Germany from India from the next day.
The German CDC announced 11,907 and 60 new confirmed and dead cases that day.
According to data from Germany's "Times Online" as of 18:20 on the 26th, more than 3.31 million confirmed cases, more than 82,000 deaths, and more than 2.91 million recovered in Germany.
As of that day, a total of 5.96 million people in Germany had received the second dose of vaccine.
Merkel announced the above news in Berlin that day.
She said that the current practice of dividing all citizens into four different vaccination priorities will be cancelled until June at the latest.
She also emphasized that this does not mean that everyone can be vaccinated immediately, but everyone will be able to apply for an appointment.
For those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered, Merkel said that these people will no longer need to produce a negative test report when shopping or having a haircut, and they will also be exempt from isolation when entering Germany from abroad.
She said that the government will promote the introduction of corresponding bills.
Regarding when Germany will be able to gradually lift the current "lockdown" measures, Merkel predicts that it will face a "difficult transition period" next, because the proportion of people who have completed two doses of vaccination in Germany is still relatively low. .
She said that even if half of the population completes vaccination, Germany's healthcare system will still face a very high risk.
