(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Germany's epidemic number drops to its lowest level in nearly a year
China News Agency, Berlin, July 3 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German disease control agency announced on the 3rd that the "accumulated number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people in seven days" dropped to 4.9.
This is the first time this important indicator used by Germany to monitor the severity of the country's new crown epidemic has fallen below 5 for the first time since July 2020.
The German disease control agency announced that the number of new confirmed cases and the number of new deaths were 671 and 16, respectively, with a total of 3,730,353 confirmed and 91,023 deaths.
As of that day, Germany had received a total of 75.8 million doses of the new crown vaccine, and a total of 31,487,487 people had been fully vaccinated, accounting for 37.9% of the total population.
Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the highest value of Germany's “accumulated number of new diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days” appeared on December 22, 2020, reaching 197.6.
Since April this year, the epidemic in Germany has gradually stabilized.
As of the 3rd day, about 40 counties and cities in Germany have achieved zero new additions in the past seven days.
The "average cumulative number of new diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days" in another four counties and cities is greater than 20, including Frankfurt, which has Germany's largest international airport.
In response to current concerns about a new wave of outbreaks in the fall, the opposition Green Party, Left Party and Liberal Democratic Party of the German Parliament urged the German Federal Government to prepare in advance.
Weissler, chairman of the left-wing party caucus, said that the relevant preparations last summer were a mess. For this reason, we must now prepare for the increase in the number of infections that may occur in primary and secondary schools in the fall.
The chairman of the Green Party Caucus Goring Eckart urged the federal government to immediately set up inspection points at entry and exit points, and enforce inspections on all returning travelers from vacation.
The Liberal Democratic Party called for an adjustment to the current voluntary vaccination strategy of citizens, instead of sending out mobile vaccination teams to persuade those who are not determined, and to provide on-site vaccination services—especially to those communities with poor economic conditions.
