　　(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Germany newly diagnosed more than 8,000 cases in a single day, a new high since May

　　China News Agency, Berlin, August 19 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German disease control agency announced on the 18th that the number of newly diagnosed new crown virus infections was 8,324, a record high in the number of new diagnoses in a single day since May this year.

German Chancellor Merkel once again called on people who have not yet received the new crown vaccine to complete the vaccination as soon as possible.

　　The German disease control agency Robert Koch Institute announced that the number of new confirmed cases and the number of new deaths were 8,324 and 22, respectively. The total number of confirmed cases was 3,835,375 and the total number of deaths was 91,921.

Among them, the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day hit a new high since May 21 this year.

At that time, the number of new diagnoses in a single day in Germany had reached 8,769.

　　The German official morbidity index used to monitor the severity of the new crown epidemic (the cumulative number of newly confirmed cases per 100,000 people in seven days) continued to rebound on the same day, rising to 40.8.

Up to now, Germany has received 98.3 million doses of the new crown vaccine, and a total of 48,109,314 people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 57.8% of the country's total population.

　　In response to the continuous rebound of the domestic epidemic, German Chancellor Merkel sent an appeal to Germans who have not yet been vaccinated against the new crown when attending an event in Berlin that day, "Please go and get vaccinated-this is not only for your own benefit." It is also for our society as a whole and for the medical staff who are working hard."

　　The current rate of vaccination in Germany has not reached the level expected by the government.

According to German media reports, before the start of the summer vacation season this year, the single-day vaccination rate in Germany had reached a high of 1.3 million doses, and the current daily vaccination rate was only less than half of this level.
