　　(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Germany has newly diagnosed more than 5,000 new cases for three consecutive days, and 11,000 cases of breakthrough infection have been reported

　　China News Agency, Berlin, August 14 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German disease control agency announced on the 14th that the number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus infections reached 5,644, which has exceeded 5,000 for the third consecutive day.

German media quoted a latest report from the CDC that day that since February this year, there have been about 11,000 cases of "breakthrough infection" in Germany, that is, people who are still diagnosed with infection after being fully vaccinated with the new crown vaccine.

　　The German disease control agency Robert Koch Institute announced that the number of new diagnoses and new deaths were 5,644 and 11, respectively, and the cumulative number of diagnoses and deaths were 3,816,285 and 91,864 respectively.

Germany's official COVID-19 incidence index (the cumulative number of new diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days) used to monitor the severity of the COVID-19 epidemic rose to 32.7 on the same day.

Up to now, Germany has received a total of 97.3 million doses of vaccines, and a total of 47,367,929 people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 57.0% of the country's total population.

　　German TV One quoted a report on the latest epidemic report released by the Robert Koch Institute that day, according to the agency's statistics, since February this year, Germany has had close to 11,000 breakthrough infections.

The people counted in this number have been fully vaccinated with a new coronavirus vaccine approved by the European Union, but have still been diagnosed with the new coronavirus.

　　Although this number sounds worrying, German medical experts believe that there is no need to worry.

Reinhard Foster, a professor at the Institute of Immunology of the Hannover Medical School in Germany, said that compared with the total number of people in Germany who have received the new crown vaccine, the proportion of breakthrough infections is expected.

"Vaccines cannot provide 100% protection, and we have learned this in previous large-scale vaccine trials." (End)
