Germany records the highest number of daily Coronavirus cases since the end of April
Germany has recorded again the highest number of new daily infections with the new Corona virus, since the end of last April.
Yesterday morning, the German Robert Koch Institute for the Control of Communicable and Non-communicable Diseases announced that the number of new infections that were recorded within one day reached 2,507, based on data from local health departments. On Friday, the institute recorded 2,153 new injuries.
The daily peak of more than 6,000 new infections recorded at the end of March and early April. Then the number began to gradually decline until last July. And last August, the number of cases was just over 2,000.
According to the institute's data, this brings the total number of confirmed cases of the virus in the country to 282,730 cases.
The total deaths due to HIV infection reached 9,452, an increase of nine cases compared to Friday. The number of people recovering reached 249,700.
According to the data, the rate of reproduction as of Friday was 0.91, which means that every 10 infected people may transmit the infection to about nine other individuals on average.
According to the institute, the reproduction rate should be less than 1 to ensure the epidemic recedes. The reproduction rate reflects the prevalence of the disease approximately one and a half weeks ago.
In a related context, data collected from Johns Hopkins University and Bloomberg Agency showed that the number of confirmed cases of Corona virus in Germany reached 283,712 cases.
The data indicated that the total deaths in Germany due to infection with the virus reached 9,451 deaths, as of yesterday morning.
As of yesterday morning, the number of people recovering from the disease reached 249,164.
President of the German state of Bavaria: Coronavirus is a natural disaster and a test for this era
The head of the government of the German state of Bavaria, Marcus Söder, described the Corona pandemic as a natural disaster and a test for the current era and the current generations, calling for a joint fight against the pandemic.
Yesterday, Zöder said, in his speech to the President before the first public conference of his Christian Social Bavarian Party on the Internet: "Corona has returned with its full vigor and strength to all parts of Europe." Zöder said that many people no longer wanted to hear about the pandemic or became upset about it, adding that he also felt that way.
He said, "But the second wave is in force and very strong ... (Corona) is a kind of natural disaster," adding that this test must now be passed without slowing down in combating the virus, stressing that the challenge must be faced wisely and firmly, and he said: "Caution is better than taking risks." .
In a related context, Zoder defended his current strategy in facing the pandemic, stressing that there is no alternative to it.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine stimulates a strong immune response to prevent Corona
Interim results published yesterday showed that a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson experimental "Covid-19" vaccine stimulated a strong immune response to prevent the emerging corona virus in an early to middle stage clinical trial.
The results showed that the vaccine, called AD26 Coff2S, was equally well tolerated in two different doses.
But it is not clear if the elderly, who are one of the population groups most at risk of contracting the virus, will enjoy the same protection as younger people from the J&J vaccine.
The trial of nearly 1,000 healthy adults, which is supported by the US government, began after it was discovered in July that a single dose of the vaccine provides strong protection for monkeys.
Based on the current results, the company on Wednesday began a final trial with 60,000 people that could pave the way to apply for regulatory approval. The company said it expects the results of the so-called Phase III trial by the end of the year or early next year.
