Coronavirus numbers are again rising significantly in Germany. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) today reported new highs in both the number of new infections and the number of coronavirus deaths: 29,875 people were registered as newly infected within 24 hours – a good 6,000 more than a week ago. The total number of infections in Germany is 1,272,078.
Also the number of humans died at or with the Coronavirus reached a new high value with 598. In total, there are thus 20,970 registered deaths related to the virus in Germany to date. The seven-day incidence also shot up. The RKI now puts it at 156.3.
The new figures fuel the ongoing debate between the federal and state governments about an earlier and tougher lockdown. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is pushing for tougher measures such as closing schools or retail stores even before Christmas. That is meeting resistance in some quarters. Negotiations are to take place this weekend.
