Although the new crown epidemic in Germany continues to slow down, the data released by the disease control department on June 17 local time shows that the proportion of new confirmed cases infected with the delta mutant strain in the past week has risen to 6.2% from 3.7% in the previous week.
German public health experts warned that the delta strain may trigger a new wave of epidemics in the country in the fall of 2021.
Brockmann, an expert at the Institute of Biology at Humboldt University in Berlin, warned that people should be highly vigilant about the possibility of this strain breaking through current epidemic prevention measures.
