China News Agency, Berlin, July 26 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German Chancellor’s Minister Braun stated on the 25th that according to the current rebound trend of the new crown epidemic, if the vaccination rate cannot be substantially increased or the epidemic prevention measures adjusted, Germany will only order before the end of September. The number of newly confirmed infections with the new crown virus every day may rise to 100,000.
He said that in the case of a large-scale outbreak of the fourth wave, it will be possible to restrict the freedom of movement of unvaccinated people, including restricting their access to restaurants, movie theaters and stadiums, and requiring them to reduce social contacts.

Since July, the epidemic situation in Germany has continued to rebound.
According to data released by the country’s disease control agency on the 25th, the number of newly diagnosed and newly-increased deaths on that day was 1,387 and 4, respectively, with a total of 3,755,898 diagnoses and 91,524 deaths.
The country's key indicator for monitoring the severity of the epidemic, "the average number of confirmed diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days", rose further to 13.6.
As of the 24th of this month, Germany has received 89 million doses of vaccine, and a total of 40,817,711 people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 49.1% of the country's total population.
Braun is responsible for various affairs of the German Chancellery and is regarded as the "big steward" of Chancellor Merkel.
He made the above statement in an interview with "Sunday Bild" that day.
Braun said that the current number of new diagnoses in Germany is rising at a rate of 60% per week. If the delta strain continues to spread at the current rate and the German vaccination rate has not been significantly improved or the epidemic prevention measures have not been adjusted, Within nine weeks, the "average cumulative number of confirmed diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days" will rise from the current level to 850. "This will mean 100,000 new confirmed cases every day!"
To this end, Braun once again called on people to actively vaccinate.
He said that the vaccine can not only prevent the severe disease of the new crown with a 90% prevention efficiency, but in the future those who have been vaccinated will enjoy greater freedom than those who have not been vaccinated.
He said that as long as the vaccine is still effective against the Delta strain, then there is no need to implement nationwide "cities lockdown" measures again, but once Germany faces a large-scale outbreak of the fourth wave of epidemics, those who have not been vaccinated in this case Will be required to reduce social contact, which also means that restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums and other places will no longer be open to this group of people, because the risk of infection is too great.
