Berlin: With the Covid-19 case again on an increase, German officials said on Monday said that the authorities needed “wider focus” outside the state infection rate to fully measure the impact of the pandemic and the types of steps must be taken.
For the most part years ago the incidence rate – how many cases of Covid-19 were confirmed per 100,000 people every week – has become the key to the government’s decision on the strict steps to be applied.
The relevance of this number is increasingly questionable by those who argue that a sharp rise in new cases – has been seen in other European countries such as Britain and the Netherlands – does not always mean more patients who are seriously ill.
“Because groups at risk of vaccinated, high incidence does not automatically mean the equally high burden on intensive care beds,” said Minister of Health Jens Spahn on Twitter.
“Increases increasingly losing significance, we now need more detailed information about the situation in the clinic.” His ministry said that on Tuesday, hospitals need to transmit more data in their Covid-19 patients, including names, types of care and their vaccination status.
The government said 58.5% of the population had received at least one vaccine dose, and 42.6?% Was fully vaccinated.
The number of shootings provided every day has been slightly dipped in recent days, raising fears that `vaccine lethargy ‘or even direct rejection to get vaccination can hamper efforts to achieve what is called’ herd.
‘ The German Disease Control Agency said last week that the country must aim to vaccinate 85% of people aged 12-59 and 90% of people more than 60 to prevent the Delta variant from causing a strong revival from the case of the Koronavirus of autumn and winter.
The Robert Koch Institute on Monday reported 324 cases of new Coronavirus and two deaths last day, taking dead since the start of Pandemi to 91,233.
Steffen Government spokesman Steibert said the tracking case number was still important and Germany observed the situation in countries such as Britain, Spain and the Netherlands, which relieved restrictions only to see infection.
“(The vaccine campaign in Germany) fortunately developed well, but we have not been quite protected than the possibility that the number really goes up strong again,” he said.
Seibert added that it was important to curb new cases to prevent the increase in new virus variants that opposed the current vaccine would be less effective.
