The Berlin Senate prolongs its old Corona regulations until December 21st. This means protective masks still have to be worn in the German capital’s public transport. The same applies at hospitals, care homes or similar establishments.

Berlin also kept the mandatory isolation rule for persons infected with the Coronavirus. The city state refrained from following the approach of four other federal states who announced they would get rid of this regulation.

According to the results of a study conducted by Moderna, the new bivalent vaccine used for Corona immunizations is more effective against the Omicron subtypes than the original Corona vaccine. Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says this showed the “optimal vaccine” for the variants that were dominant right now was available.

Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein decide to get rid of the mandatory isolation rule for persons infected with the Coronavirus. According to Manne Lucha, the Health Minister of Baden-Württemberg, it is time for self-reliance. But infected persons who leave their homes are supposed to wear masks.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach criticizes the announced step. “When there are 1,000 Corona deaths per week on the eve of the next winter wave with new Corona variants as well as an increasing number of employees with Long Covid, a suspension of the isolation does not make sense”, he states.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the number of new Coronavirus infections is decreasing right now, along with the Seven Day Incidences in all of Germany’s federal states. In its weekly report, the RKI says this development could be caused by the ongoing fall vacations, meaning it might be temporary. An all-clear could not be given.

Thomas Mertens, the head of Germany’s Permanent Vaccination Commission, says Corona had entered a new phase. He told the Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Bavarian division of the ARD TV and radio network, it was now an “endemic virus infection”. Personal responsibility needed to play a big role here. At the same time, he stated the Coronavirus would survive coming generations.

The federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Hesse get rid of one of the Corona rules that are part of the latest version of Germany’s Infection Protection Act. This is about the mandatory mask regulation in care homes. People who are being cared for there need to wear protective masks as soon as they leave their rooms. German-language media quote Manne Lucha, Baden-Württemberg’s Health Minister. He says handicapped people should not be disadvantaged compared to everyone else. At least in theory, the law has to be changed before any federal state changes the rule in question.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach comments on the new Coronavirus variant BA4.6 that was identified in the United States of America. He says this mutation was able to overcome previous infections and vaccinations easily. Immunizations against Omicron variants were a better alternative compared to infections, also because of the risk Long Covid posed.

Note: The Corona numbers that come in on weekends or Mondays are not too conclusive because there is hardly any reporting on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend cases usually appear in the statistics on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announces a new advertising campaign for Corona vaccinations and masks. Its title is “Ich schütze mich” (“I protect myself”). There will be 84 motives, one per one million inhabitants Germany has. People affected by Corona in different ways will tell their stories in this campaign, including some who suffer from Long Covid, and individuals who lost loved ones to the virus.

Lauterbach reiterates Germany was well-prepared, but the federal states needed to react to the ongoing Corona wave now, by putting in place mandatory mask rules indoors.

In the past two weeks, the number of Corona patients in intensive care more than doubled. On September 27th, 2022, 785 of them were registered in Germany. Today, there are 1,608. In those same two weeks, the Seven Day Incidence increased from 334.9 to 787.5. These numbers point towards a new Corona wave which should not surprise anyone because many experts predicted it.

In the meantime, a new Corona variant known as BQ.1.1 seems to be spreading. This Omicron subtype might be partially immune to Corona vaccinations. According to Cornelius Römer of Basel University, BQ.1.1 could become the dominating variant in both Europe and North America in November.

Indeed, the number of new infections is increasing, as expected. More Corona patients, 887 of them, are in intensive care.

The number of Germans who get their second booster vaccinations against the Coronavirus is still low. At this stage, Germany’s Permanent Vaccination Commission (Stiko) recommends those shots to persons above 60 years of age and individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says a Corona “fall wave” was probable, but it was building up slowly. Germany was prepared. The combination of “adjusted vaccine” and wearing masks indoors could help. The Minister also states there were new variants of the Coronavirus, but none of them looked as dangerous as Delta, at least for now.

Note: The Corona numbers that come in on weekends or Mondays are not too conclusive because there is hardly any reporting on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend cases usually appear in the statistics on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says the number of Corona-related deaths still was too high. “We shall never get used to this”, he twittered. Lauterbach also said many people and some media believed the pandemic could be kept under control without the measures the Bundesrat and Bundestag recently approved. This was not the case. Now, the country needed to get through the fall and the winter.

The Health Ministers in Germany’s sixteen federal states decide to require FFP2 standard masks in public transport during the upcoming cold season as well. They want to have uniform Corona rules in all of Germany in fall and winter.

In the meantime, another new vaccine is approved by the European Commission. It is a ‘bivalent’ product by Biotech/Pfizer which is supposed to protect people from the dominant Corona/Omicron subtype BA.5.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approves booster vaccines made by the German company Biontech in cooperation with its American partner Pfizer, and by Moderna from the U.S.. These products are supposed to improve people’s protection from the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus. Now, the European Commission has to confirm the decision, but this is considered a formality.

For now, the number of new Corona infections in Germany is decreasing, according to the official statistics provided by the Robert Koch Institute. They only cover infections identified in PCR tests.

In early September, Germany is supposed to receive vaccine that was adjusted to the Omicron variant BA.1, according to a letter Health Minister Karl Lauterbach sent to doctor’s offices and vaccination centers. BA.1 does not spread anymore, but this vaccine version is supposed to help against BA.4 and BA.5 as well. The latter variant has been dominating Germany for months. At this stage, the infection numbers are decreasing after they skyrocketed for a long time.

Later this year, another vaccine is expected to be delivered. This one will specifically help against the BA.4 and BA.5 variants. But Minister Lauterbach called on people with pre-existing conditions not to wait. He said they should get immunized with the vaccine that was available right now.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ cabinet approves an amendment for Germany’s Infection Protection Act which the Berlin Bundestag is supposed ro approve on September 8th. It gives the federal states the option to react to increasing Corona infection numbers. Mandatory mask rules in public transport and public buildings are included. FFP2 standard masks will have to be worn on aircraft and long-distance trains.

Germany’s Permanment Vaccination Commission now recommends a fourth Corona vaccination to everyone from 60 years of age. Before, persons who are 70 or older had gotten a recommendation for a second booster shot, as well as individuals with immunodeficiency from 5 years of age and patients with pre-existing conditions.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said the new recommendation was important. He told the T-Online news portal people should follow it. Because the number of Corona-related deaths was still high, waiting for new vaccines was not the right approach.

According to the Robert Koch Institute Germany “seems to have” passed the peak of the ongoing Corona summer wave. Indeed, the number of new infections the RKI records on a daily basis has been decreasing in the past days. Only cases identified in PCR tests make it into the statistics.

While the number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care has decreased as well, that of Corona-related deaths has not. One hundred and sixty-seven of them were reported in the past 24 hours.

Health Minister Katl Lauterbach and Justice Minister Marco Buschmann have agreed on a Corona approach for the cold season. An amended Infection Protection Act is supposed to pass both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat in September, just before the old version of the law expires.

The regulations will include mandatory mask rules in long-distance traffic, clinics and care facilities. Germany’s federal states will have more options in situations in which the infection numbers explode. They can put in place compulsory mask rules indoors, including at schools, but only in grades 5 to 13. Lockdowns and school closures are not part of the plan.

According to Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, the new Infection Protection Act the coalition government is preparing will not include school closures. In an interview with ARD television he said the ministries were still in the process of discussing “many other measures”. In September, the old Infection Protection Act will expire. “We will be prepared”, Lauterbach promised.

Data released by Germany’s Federal Office of Statistics show that the Corona pandemic has decreased the life expectancy substantially. In the area of the former GDR, the effects of the Coronavirus are more alarming than in the Federal Republic’s old states. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said the lower vaccination readiness in the eastern part had cost additional lives.

In the meantime, the number of Corona patients in intensive care is increasing substantially. On July 1st, there were 934 of them. Today, 1,621 Corona patients are being treated in Germany’s ICUs.

Germany is discussing new Corona regulations for the upcoming cold season. While Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, a Social Democrat (SPD), wants to put in place mandatory mask rules, especially in shops and public buildings, his coalition partners of the Free Democrats (FDP) are not so sure. Some of them, inluding Justice Minister Marco Buschmann, want the wearing of masks to be compulsory at certain locations. Others do not.

At this stage, masks are mandatory in public transport. In Berlin, far too many passengers ignore the rule.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach recommends fourth COVID-19 vaccinations to persons below 60 years of age. In an interview with the ‘Spiegel’ magazine he says those shots could reduce the risk substantially. The E.U.’s ECDC and Germany’s ‘Stiko’ authority see it differently.

The number of new Corona infections still is very high. More than 109,000 new Corona cases were registered today. Even the federal government is affected. The Ministers Robert Habeck and Marco Buschmann are infected with COVID-19. Two weeks after her infection, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock still cannot climb stairs too well, as she told the ‘Stern’ magazine.

Because of the rising number of Corona infections, the German Association of General Practioners wants the option to give out medical certificates online. German-language media quoted the organization’s chairman Ulrich Weigeldt. He said today’s regulations would force patients to go to doctor’s offices while they were sick or infected with Corona.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said the Association was right. The regulations would be changed accordingly. While the Corona case numbers were high, infections should not be carried into doctor’s offices, he stated.

Today’s high number of new Coronavirus infections is connected to the fact that new cases are not being reported on weekends anymore. Infections registered on Saturdays and Sundays are usually added to the Robert Koch Institute’s official numbers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

One of today’s numbers is alarming though, namely that of Corona patients in intensive care. Yesterday, it exceeded 1,000 for the first time in weeks. Today, it increased substantially again.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says the Corona summer wave was causing too many deaths. Action needed to be taken now, including a new campaign for vaccinations. The vaccination gap needed to be closed. Especially elderly people and persons with pre-existing conditions needed to be immunized, Professor Lauterbach stated. New anti-Corona measures Germany’s federal states could implement were being prepared.

Note: Today’s Corona numbers are not complete because hardly any reporting takes place on the weekends anymore. New cases registered on Saturday and Sunday will typically be included in the numbers released on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says Germany will have big difficulties with the Coronavirus variant BA.5 in fall. In an interview with ARD TV, he states Germany needed to prepare for a difficult cold season. The people needed and deserved a good protection against the virus.

In the meantime, the number of new Corona infections is still on the rise. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence is back at an extremely high level. There are almost 100,000 new Corona cases and more than 100 related deaths.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, BA.5, a very contagious subvariant of the Coronavirus mutation known as Omicron, is now the dominant version in Germany. Last week, its share was 66 percent. This explains the high number of new Corona infections. There are more than 113,000 today.

The RKI recommends the use of masks, keeping one’s distance to other people, washing one’s hands on a regular basis, a regular ventilation of rooms in which people gather and, above all, Corona vaccinations. They may not protect people against BA.5 infections, but they substantially decrease the danger of a severe disease progression.

According to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, “adapted vaccine” will soon decrease the infection risk and make an overburdening of Germany’s health system less likely.

From July 1st, 2022, most Germans and residents of other nationalities will have to pay 3 Euro for Corona tests. Only members of vulnerable groups are supposed to get tested for free, according to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach. The state will still pay 6,50 Euro per test but, because of the tight budget situation in fall, Germany could not cover the entire amount anymore, Lauterbach said.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), BA.5 is now the dominating variant of Corona in Germany. It is a more contagious subtype of the Omicron mutation. The data this development is based on were collected two weeks ago. This means that BA.5 may have dominated the infection situation for weeks and its share could be a lot bigger than 50 percent, which is the official number.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence jumped from 532.9 to 618.2 since yesterday. The number of Corona patients in intensive care is rising too. More than 108,000 new Corona infections were registered in the past 24 hours. Again, the actual number is probably a lot higher, also because only Corona cases confirmed in PCR tests are part of the German statistics.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says there will be new anti-Corona measures for the upcoming cold season. He told ARD television, there would be an agreement on this subject in the government coalition. “The drama everyone is waiting for will not happen”, he predicted. At this stage, the government is waiting for an assessment of the anti-Corona measures that were put in place in the past. Germany’s Corona Expert Council is working on it.

The number of new Corona infections in Germany, and that of Corona-related deaths, rises substantially. One of the reasons might be the weekend effect. On Saturdays and Sundays, hardly any Corona cases are being reported anymore. The latest infections usually appear in the statistics on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach introduces a seven-point plan that is supposed to help the country deal with Corona in fall. It includes new Corona vaccine, free Corona tests for some, the use of Corona medication early on, more protection for vulnerable groups and improved data about the number of ICU beds occupied by Corona patients.

The Minister also says there was light at the end of the tunnel. Within six months he expects to have vaccine that might prevent Corona infections.

Health Minister Professor Karl Lauterbach tells the ‘Rheinische Post’ daily, a Corona summer wave was now reality. The summer effect was crumbling away. He advises elderly persons and individuals with pre-existing conditions to get a second booster vaccination. Lauterbach says those shots would not necessarily prevent infection, but decrease the risk of severe disease progression.

The Omicron subvariant BA.5 is more contagious than its predecessor BA.2. And Corona vaccinations do not seem to stop it.

In Germany, the number of new Coronavirus infections is increasing again. The country’s Seven Day Incidence just jumped from 331.8 on Monday to 447.3 today. This development might be connected to the spread of the Omicron subtypes BA.4 and BA.5.

In the second week of May, their shares were 0.6 and 2.5 percent, respectively, but doubled every seven days. BA.5 could already be the dominating type. It is supposed to be even more contagious than BA.2, the subtype it probably already overtook.

In Germany, the number of Coronavirus infections caused by the Omicron subtype BA.5 is increasing, according to the Robert Koch Institute. The same type has caused a Corona wave in Portugal during the ongoing warm season. For now, the share of the old subtype BA.2 in Germany is at 80 percent. But experts believe the more contagious type BA.5 will be the dominating the Federal Republic. They cannot predict when this will be the case though. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says the situation should not be underestimated.

Germany’s Corona Expert Council believes the country’s health system will be burdened by the pandemic again in the upcoming cold season. The worst case scenario it sees is the spread of a new Corona mutation that causes severe disease progression in many cases. According to the Council members, Germany should prepare for any eventualities right now.

A legal basis for a return of anti-Corona measures including the mandatory mask rule, distancing and even contact restrictions was necessary, just in case. Besides, the Council demands uniformity in regard to the regulations and an improved communication. Health Minister Lauterbach said the Expert Council had done an excellent job.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is infected with Corona. During a visit to Islamabad, she had not been able to taste her lunch. The test that was done turned out to be positive. Today, she was going to fly home. The aircraft she is using gives her the possibility to remain isolated during the flight. The rest of her trip, which was supposed to include Turkey, was cancelled.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says a successful campaign for a fourth Corona vaccination could prevent a thousand people per day from dying of COVID-19. Immunized risk groups would make sure there was “freedom”, Lauterbach tweeted. What he meant was that there would not need to be that many restrictions if more people, including elderly individuals, were vaccinated against Corona.

Probably because hardly any reporting takes place during the ongoing, extended Pentecost weekend, the official number of new Coronavirus infections is very low, and that of Corona-related deaths has been zero for two days.

According to Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, there could be a “summer wave”, but there is no certainty yet. This was the time to prepare for the fall, Professor Lauterbach twittered. An autumn like in pre-Corona times was an unlikely scenario.

For the first time in years, no new Coronavirus infections and no Corona-related deaths are registered in a 24-hour period. The reporting usually stalls during weekends, meaning there might actually be new cases, but those two zeros in the statistics do spread some optimism. So does the fact that no Corona patients in Berlin are connected to ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machines anymore, for the first time since the pandemic began.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers from Germany’s federal states talk about the need to be prepared for rising Corona infection numbers in fall. They intend to take decisions once the governments Corona Expert Panel comes up with suggestions for the cold season. Schools and kindergartens are supposed to remain open this time, whatever happens.

The infection numbers are on the rise again. Earlier this week, Germany’s Seven Day Incidence was below 200, for the first time since November of last year. Now, it is above 260.

At Berlin’s 827 schools, pupils will not have to get tested for Coronavirus infections anymore. This new rule will be put in place after the upcoming Pentecost weekend, on June 7th, 2022. But the schools may decide to have their students tested voluntarily up to three times per week. Parents and other persons who visit schools do not have to provide any vaccination certificates or other documents anymore.

In the city state of Berlin, the mandatory mask rule for persons who are being cared for at retirement and care homes is gone as well. But caretakers do have to keep wearing protective masks.

From June 1st, 2022, Corona vaccinations, Corona tests or proof of recovery from COVID-19 are not required anymore to enter Germany. There is an exception for persons who come in from ‘Virus Variant Areas’. But because there are no areas of this kind right now, this applies in theory only.

Travelers can basically forget about Corona, at least for now, unless they enter Germany by plane. Masks still have to be worn on aircraft and in public transport in general.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence reaches its lowest level since November 7th, 2021. But the numbers released by the Robert Koch Institute these days only include Coronavirus infections that were confirmed in PCR tests. Rapid tests used by private individuals are not part of the statistics, which means that the actual infection numbers potentially are a lot higher than the official ones.

An argument about Germany’s Infection Protection Act erupts between Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, a Social Democrat (SPD), and Justice Minister Marco Buschmann of the FDP. In an interview with ZDF TV, Lauterbach had said there needed to be a legal basis for a new mandatory mask rule in fall, in case a new Corona wave hits. Therefore, the law needed to be revised accordingly.

Buschmann told the ‘Funke Mediengruppe’, a publishing house that runs several newspapers, he would rather follow the law and have an evaluation of the situation done first, instead of taking single measures prematurely.

During an online conference, the Health Ministers and Health Senators from Germany’s sixteen federal states demand a legal framework that would give their governments the right to take measures against a new Coronavirus wave they expect to hit in the next cold season. They want the states to have the option to put in place mandatory mask rules and to impose access restrictions on public places and establishments.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach welcomes his colleagues’ decisions. Indeed, the states needed the right tools in order to be able to fight a resurgence of the Coronavirus, he says. The country needed to be prepared.

Germany’s federal government disbands its Corona Crisis Committee which was headed by the Bundeswehr’s Major General Carsten Breuer. Its main task was to keep the Corona vaccination campaign going. According to the government, the situation has changed since the Committee was set up some five months ago. A spokeslady said the decision to get rid of the Corona Crisis Committee should not be misunderstood. The Corona pandemic was not over.

The Corona infection numbers are still very high, and the actual numbers are probably a lot higher than the official ones, also because only cases confirmed by PCR tests make it into the Robert Koch Institute’s statistics. But the trend is going in the right direction.

In several of Germany’s federal states, including in Berlin and Brandenburg, the quarantine rules are about to change. The governments in the two states mentioned just decided to apply a minimum isolation period of five days for persons who were infected, but have been symptom-free for 48 hours and test negative for Corona. Individuals who were in contact with infected people will not have to isolate themselves at all. These new regulations are supposed to be put in place on Friday.

The total number of Corona infections in Germany since the Coronavirus hit in early 2020 just exceeded 25 million. Since yesterday, more than 106,000 new infections were registered. But the Seven Day Incidence is decreasing.

The number of new Coronavirus infections in Germany and that of Corona-related deaths jumped back to high levels after they had been very low due to the fact that far less reporting takes place on weekends. But Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreased to 632.2. In the sixteen federal states, the Incidence shows levels between 364.9 (Thuringia) and 892.9 (Lower Saxony).

For the first time since September of last year, not one Corona-related death was listed in the Robert Koch Institute’s daily report. After weekends, the numbers are usually a lot lower though because the reporting stalls on Saturdays and Sundays. Only about 4,000 new Corona infections were registered since yesterday, while Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreased to 639.5. Thuringia is the federal state with the lowest Incidence. This morning, it was 403.4.

According to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, a study conducted by the University of Freiburg shows that vaccinations protect people from the latest variants of the Coronavirus more effectively than recent Corona infections. Recovered individuals would benefit from immunizations too, Lauterbach wrote on Twitter. This was an important aspect for the next cold season.

The infection numbers in Germany are still very high, but have decreased by about half, compared to the levels that were registered a few weeks ago. The Seven Day Incidence is now 758.5.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence just rose substantially. The country’s Corona infection numbers might still be in the process of bouncing back to realistic levels after the Easter holidays. Just like the national Incidence, Berlin’s level in creased by 120 points, but it is still the federal state with the lowest Incidence of them all.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach demanded an expansion of Corona research. He retweeted the result of a study according to which 75 percent of all Corona patients who have been treated at hospitals were still not completely healthy one year later.

After the Easter vacations, it is back to school in most of Germany’s federal states. In several of them, including Berlin and Brandenburg, the mandatory mask rule does not apply anymore. The Brandenburgian government decided to require three Corona tests from all schoolkids this week. In Berlin, everyone at school, including pupils and teachers, will have to be tested on a regular basis for a longer time period.

By requiring a lot of testing this week, both states want to make sure kids or teachers do not bring the Coronavirus to school from trips they may have taken during the vacations.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says the Corona situation will probably improve to a certain extent in summer, but not as far as last year. In fall, there could be a new variant that cannot be stopped with vaccinations, like Omicron, but which enters the lung tissue like Delta. The Minister says he knows nobody wanted to hear about this, but he was being paid to state the truth.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence Increases to 733.4. The total number of Coronavirus infections since the pandemic started in early 2020 now exceeds 24 million. Berlin still is the federal state with the lowest Seven Day Incidence. It just decreased to 344.0.

After Easter, the Seven Day Incidence is rising again. This probably has to do with Corona infection cases that were registered during the holidays, but reported afterwards. Since yesterday, the number of new infections per day has reached very high levels again. So has that of Corona-related deaths.

On Twitter, Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach retweeted an American projection that was released after the discovery of a new Omicron subvariant called B.2.12.1. It is supposed to be more contagious than BA.2 and could lead to yet another increase of infection numbers. “Nobody likes to hear these things, but that’s the way it is”, Lauterbach wrote.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is being slammed by virologists, including Hendrik Streeck who says he was “spreading panic”. On Easter Sunday, ‘Bild am Sonntag’ had published an interview with Lauterbach in which he had said there could be a highly contagious Omicron mutation in fall. He referred to it as “an absolute killer variant“.

Lauterbach stated Germany’s Infection Protection Act needed to be adjusted. He also said he expected a vaccine against the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus to be available in September.

In Germany, the Corona vaccination campaign is still stalling. Seventy-six percent of all Germans are immunized, 49 of them also got booster shots. These numbers hardly change anymore because the campaign is so slow. According to the ‘Welt am Sonntag’ publication, 77 million doses of vaccine are in stock right now. Eleven million doses will reach their expiration date at the end of June unless they are used, the paper reports.

Germany’s infection numbers are definitely decreasing. The country’s Seven Day Incidence dropped down to 1,097.9. It has not been this ‘low’ since January 28th, 2022. On the other hand, this level is still extremely high. Four out of sixteen federal states now have three-digit Incidences. They are Baden-Württemberg, Berlin, Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia. All other states are still in the four-digit range.

The number of new Corona infections in Germany keeps on decreasing, but has not reached an ‘acceptable level’ yet. More than 150,000 were registered today. Last Saturday, there were 46,000 more. The Seven Day Incidence is 1,141.8, the lowest it has been since January 29th, 2022.

The Incidences in Berlin and Brandenburg are below 800, while four-digit levels were registered in the other fourteen federal states. Germany’s Corona hotspot is Erfurt. In this Thuringian city, the Incidence is above 4,000 (no typo). All other cities and counties in Germany are at levels below 3,000. More and more are dropping below 1,000.

The Berlin Bundestag rejects two proposals for mandatory Corona vaccination laws, but also two initiatives against immunizations. With this outcome, fighting Corona in fall would be more difficult, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says. He vows the subject was not off the table.

In the meantime, the Robert Koch Institute confirms the ongoing Corona wave has passed its peak. It appeals to people to wear masks anyway and to keep their distance. The trend in the next four weeks depended on people’s behavior.

The Berlin Bundestag was going to deal with several proposals in regard to mandatory vaccinations today. In the morning, it was unclear whether there would be a majority for any of them.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach retracts the decision to lift the mandatory isolation rule for persons who arte infected with the Coronavirus on May 1st. He says it had been a mistake he was responsible for, personally. In cases in which decisions did not really work, they needed to be retracted, the Minister told the press in Berlin. People who have come in contact with infected individuals will not be forced to go into quarantine anymore from May 1st though. But there is a recommendation that says they should.

In Germany, the number of COVID-19 patients who are in emergency care is slowly decreasing. According to DIVI Intensivregister, there are 2,160 right now. Eight hundred and thirty or 38 percent of them are connected to respirators.

The number of new Coronavirus infections is still extremely high, but decreasing as well. Last Wednesday, there were more than 268,000 new cases. Today, close to 215,000 were reported. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence dropped down to 1,322.2.

According to the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, there have been 41,129 new Corona infections since Sunday. It is the lowest number since January 17th, 2022. On the other hand, this kind of number was considered to be extremely high not so long ago. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreased to 1,424.6. It has not been this low since February 6th. But, again, this level is actually very high, even though it is lower than it was before.

Berlin’s Incidence is decreasing too. It just dropped down to 867.6. Berlin is still the only federal state in Germany with a three-digit Incidence. The fifteen other states are in the four-digit range. Saarland continues to be Germany’s Corona hotspot. Here, the Incidence level is 2,112.1.

All federal states in Germany need to follow the new Corona rules from today, or declare themselves Corona hotspots. This is the choice they have according to the new Infection Protection Act. An interim period ended last night at midnight. In all but two states, the ‘2G’ and ‘3G’ rules are gone. Masks in shops and restaurants are not required anymore.

The number of new Corona infections registered in Germany is a lot lower than it was last Saturday. Back then, the Robert Koch Institute reported more than 252,000 new infections. Today, there are 196,456 new cases. The Seven Day Incidence decreased further. It is 1,531.5 today. Berlin is the only federal state with a three-digit Incidence. All others are at four-digit levels.

Germany’s vaccination campaign is extremely slow by now. On weekdays, only 37,000 to 62,000 shots are administered these days. A few weeks ago, up to 1.5 million vaccinations were registered per day.

From today, masks in Berlin’s shops and restaurants will not be required anymore, unless the businesses put in place compulsory mask rules themselves. Some businesses in the capital are hoping people will wear protective masks anyway. Neighboring Brandenburg will get rid of its mask rule on Monday. But masks are still mandatory in public transport, hospitals and care facilities. The compulsory mask rule was put in place on April 29th, 2020, and has been followed since.

Germany’s Ministry of Health is working on changing the quarantine regulations too. Today, infected individuals and contact persons have to isolate themselves for ten days. After a minimum of seven days, they can get out if they test negative. Soon, the quarantine period might be decreased to five days. While the state wants to rely on people’s personal responsibility in most cases, employees of hospitals and care facilities are supposed to be forced to go into quarantine when they are infected and get tested after five days. So far, this is an idea that is being discussed.

In Germany, most Corona rules will not apply anymore. Some states will get rid of them on Saturday, some on Sunday and some on Monday. Masks will be required in hospitals and in public transport, but not in shops or restaurants. But there will be exceptions. Two federal states, Hamburg and Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, will keep the rules until late April. They declared themselves Corona hotspots.

In Berlin, many restaurants and bars intend to keep the mandatory mask rule too. The RBB radio and TV network reports, the owners of about half of all businesses of this kind in the German capital did not agree with the government’s approach. This means the rules will differ from restaurant to restaurant, from bar to bar.

March 30th, 2022

Berlin will be dropping most Corona rules on April 1st. Starting on Friday, masks will be required in public transport, hospitals and care facilities, but not in shops, malls, restaurants, cafés or similar establishments. Persons who enter refugee hostels, jails and juvenile shelters will have to put them on. But at schools, no masks will have to be worn anymore either. Pupils, teachers and all employees need to get tested though, on a regular basis.

All of Germany’s federal states have to take this approach which the federal government calls “basic protection”. It is in line with the policies most European neighbors chose to pursue as well. On the other hand, this is a bad moment for lifting Corona rules, according to critics, also because the likelihood of getting infected with Corona is the highest it has ever been. The dominating Corona variant Omicron mainly threatens unvaccinated persons. Those who are immunized will not go through severe disease progressions in most cases.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and his colleagues in some federal states argued about the new Corona regulations again. Five states wanted to have the current rules prolonged, but failed. Lauterbach told them the old rules could not be justified legally anymore because the German health system was not in danger of being overburdened right now.

The old regulations applied until March 20th, 2022, but the states had the right to prolong them during an interim period which expires in the first days of April. This means that changes are imminent. The mandatory mask rule will not apply in shops anymore, but it will in public transport. The states have the option to declare cities, counties or their entire areas Corona hotspots, and to put in place stricter rules at those locations.

As usual, less new Corona infections are registered this Monday morning, mainly because the reporting stalls on weekends. Compared to last Monday, there are 24,500 new cases less. Whether this is the beginning of a trend is unclear at this stage. All in all, the infection numbers are at an extremely high level. On some weekdays, the Robert Koch Institute reports around 300,000 new Coronavirus cases per day.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreases slightly, to 1,700.6. Six federal states continue to have Incidences above 2,000. They are Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, Saarland, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. Berlin’s level is 1,123.0 today. The Hospitalization Incidence rises slightly, to 7.5.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach defends the new Infection Protection Act the government he is part of pushed through the Bundestag the other day. According to the new law, masks at supermarkets or other shops are not required anymore. But Lauterbach wants supermarkets to “make use of their householder’s rights” and implement compulsory mask rules themselves.

In most federal states, the new Corona rules will apply from April 1st, 2nd or 3rd. The easing of the mask rule people have followed for one and a half years comes at a time at which the probability for getting infected is higher than it ever was.

According to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, the Corona situation in Germany is “not good”. Every day, around 300,000 new infections are registered. Lauterbach said he believed the actual number was double that. He stated something needed to be done and called on the federal states to take measures. Germany’s new Infection Protection Act gives them the right to put in place restrictions in Corona hotspots. Three hundred Corona-related deaths and an overburdening of the health system was not acceptable, the Minister said in Berlin.

Again, Lauterbach asked people to get immunized against Corona now. The unvaccinated needed to expect “to be infected in the coming days”. He said the risk of getting infected now was higher than it had been in the past two years, since the crisis had begun. “This also applies to those who are saying they had managed to get through the crisis well”, Karl Lauterbach stressed.

There is still no improvement. In Germany, the number of new Corona infections since yesterday is the third-highest since the pandemic hit two years ago, and the Seven Day Incidence reached another all-time high. Just as one federal state, Saxony-Anhalt, dropped below 2,000 on its Incidence, another state, Lower Saxony, surpassed this level, meaning there still are six states with this kind of number.

According to several German-language media, two states intend to keep the mandatory mask rule in shops and public buildings. They are Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, where the Incidence is above 2,400, and Hamburg, which is at a level of 1,078.7. It is the lowest in Germany. The new Infection Protection Act the Bundestag just passed gives federal states the right to put in place mandatory mask rules and restrictions in Corona hotspots. But the latter have to be declared by the state parliaments first.

More than 318,000 new Corona infections are registered within 24 hours. This is the population of a city like Bonn, Münster or Karlsruhe. And it is another all-time high. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence also reaches a record level. It now stands at 1,752.0. Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania continues to be the federal state with the highest Incidence. Today’s level is above 2,400.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach tells the ‘Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung’ daily, the “setscrews” would have to be “adjusted”. He said the “efficiency reserves” in the health system would have to be increased along with the government’s grants in this field and the health insurance premiums. In the meantime, the Verdi union wants the compulsory mask rule in shops to be prolonged.

In Saxony, one of the six federal states with Seven Day Incidences above 2,000, Governor Michael Kretschmer disagrees with his fellow CDU party members at the state parliament. He wants to declare his stage a Corona hotspot. That way, he could put in place more Corona rules and restrictions. But his colleagues oppose any such move. Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says Kretschmer was right.

More than 283,000 new Corona cases are registered within 24 hours. This is one of the highest numbers Germany was ever forced to add to its Corona statistics. Since Tuesday, 329 Corona patients died, while Germany’s Incidence rose slightly, to 1,734.2.

It is still unclear whether there will be mandatory Corona vaccinations in Germany. Chancellor Scholz and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach are in favor of a law of this kind, but there might not be a majority at the Bundestag. On Monday, the parliament’s Health Committee discussed the subject.

In the meantime, the Corona numbers are still very high. More than 222,000 new infections were registered since yesterday. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence rose slightly. Its level is now 1,733.4. While Berlin has a three-digit Incidence again, six federal states are above 2,000. They are Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, Saarland, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.

But it is still lower than it was on Saturday. Whether this is the beginning of a trend reversal is not known. The number of federal states with Incidences above 2,000 decreases to five.

In Germany’s 412 counties, there is a wide range of Incidence levels. In Sigmaringen (Baden-Württemberg), it is 3,614.5. Vechta (Lower Saxony), where the Incidence is 434.2 only, looks a lot better.

Germany gets rid of most Corona rules. only a “basic protection” is left. Masks have to be worn in public transport, long-distance trains and on aircraft, in shelters for asylum seekers, care facilities and hospitals, but not in shops. The federal states have the right to put in place mask and distance rules in Corona hotspots.

In most of Germany’s states, the new Infection Protection Act, which was passed by both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, will apply in early April. They used their option to prolong the old Corona rules until then.

Both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat approve Germany’s new Infection Protection Act. From March 20th, 2022, the country will have rather lax Corona rules considering extremely high infection numbers are being reported on a daily basis. On the other hand, the Omicron variant mostly does not cause severe disease progression. Most federal states believe the new rulers do not go far enough, but voted for the new law anyway.

From tomorrow, masks are still required in public transport, on aircraft, at hospitals and care facilities, but not at shops or most other public places. The states have the right to tighten the rules to some extent in cities or counties that become Corona hotspots. Mandatory Corona vaccinations are still being discussed separately.

Germany’s number of new Corona infections within 24 hours reaches another all-time high. Since yesterday, there have been 297,845 new cases. The Seven Day Incidence hits a record high as well. Five federal states now have Incidences above 2,000. They are Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, Saarland, Saxony and Thuringia.

Later today, the Bundestag was going to pass the new Infection Protection Act. It gets rid of most Corona rules. Masks will only have to be worn in public transport, hospitals and similar facilities. The federal states are supposed to have the right to put in place certain rules in regions with high Incidences. At this moment, there is hardly any spot with low ones.

The number of new Coronavirus infections reaches a new all-time high. Almost 295,000 new cases are being registered. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence is the highest ever as well. It’s level reaches 1,651.4. The number of Corona-related deaths remains high too. On top of it all, the Hospitalization Incidence increases.

In the meantime, the Berlin Bundestag is in the process of lifting most Corona rules. A new Infection Protection Act is supposed to pass the parliament this week. In spite of the exploding infection numbers, masks at supermarkets and restaurants will not be mandatory anymore, unless the draft is changed at the last minute. Critics see a contradiction here.

The Berlin Senate postpones the lifting of most Corona rules until April 1st, in anticipation of a new Infection Protection Act the Bundestag is supposed to pass on Friday. Originally, most rules and restrictions were supposed to be dumped on March 20th.

Not everyone agrees this is the right moment to ease restrictions, because the infection numbers are not decreasing, but rising. The Robert Koch Institute reports the second-biggest number of new Infections of all time. Since yesterday, more than 262,000 cases had to be added to the statistics. Berlin’s Incidence jumped up to 1,102.4. Most other federal states have reached even higher levels.

On day number 777, the Corona infection numbers in Germany are on the rise. On Tuesdays, they are usually a lot lower, because of the weekend effect, but this time almost 200,000 new infections were reported in the past 24 hours. The Seven Day Incidence just reached a new all-time high. Berlin’s Incidence increased by more than 100 since yesterday.

More problems could be building up. One Deltacron infection was confirmed in Germany so far. This new mutation which seems to be a mix of the Omicron and the Delta mutation has been confirmed in other European countries too. For now, it is unclear how dangerous it is.

According to the German Ministry of Health, the share the Omicron subtype BA.2 has officially reached 48.2 percent. Experts believe, this even more contagious variant actually is the dominating one already. By now, the Delta mutation has shrunk to 0.7 percent of all active Coronavirus cases in Germany. The spread of BA.2 explains the increasing infection numbers.

On Monday in the early morning, 92,378 new cases were reported for the past 24 hours. Last Monday, the number of new infections was lower by 14,000. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence is still increasing. Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania’s Incidence is above 2,100, Bavaria, Saarland and Thuringia are above 1,900, and three states, Baden-Württemberg, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, above 1,800.

Experts are criticizing the German government for its Corona approach. This coming week, the Infection Protection Act needs to be amended because it expires on March 20th. At this stage, the government intends to get rid of the mandatory mask rule in shops. Experts are horrified. Gernot Marx, the President of Germany’s Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care Medicine, told the Funke Mediengruppe this would be a mistake. Colleagues agree with him.

The number of new Corona infections registered in the past 24 hours is a lot higher, by 30,000 cases, than last Sunday. Back then, the Seven Day Incidence was 1,231.1. Now, it is 1,526.8. The Hospitalization Incidence is on the rise as well.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach tells the press in Berlin the Corona situation was critical. He warns against throwing all anti-Corona measures overboard because of the rising infection numbers and states the country could not be satisfied with a situation in which 200 to 250 Corona patients died every day. The notion that the spreading Omicron variant of the Coronavirus was milder was partially inaccurate, he says.

In the meantime, the infection numbers are increasing substantially yet again. More than 237,000 infections were registered since Friday. The Seven Day Incidence jumped to 1,496.0 and the Hospitalization Incidence to 7.0.

Again, Germany had to add more than 250,000 new Corona infections to its statistics within 24 hours while the Seven Day Incidence climbed to 1,439.0. The reason behind this is what could be called the BA.2 wave or the second Omicron wave. Officially, the share of the more contagious Omicron subtype is now 48 percent in Germany, but experts believe it is actually the dominant type already.

Even in Berlin, where the numbers had decreased for a while, a trend reversal was registered. Yesterday, the German capital’s Incidence was below 700, now it is 727.5. Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania is above 2,000, for five states, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Saarland, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, Incidences above 1,700 were reported. Only three out of 16 states still have three-digit Incidences. The Hospitalization Incidence rose to 6.7.

Germany’s Corona infection numbers rose substantially yet again. On Friday, 262,752 new cases were registered. It is the highest number ever. Last Thursday, the number was a lot lower, by 52,000 cases. Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania is the federal state with the highest Seven Day Incidence. Today, the level there was 1,938.1, while the national Incidence rose to 1,388.5.

There is a known reason for the increasing infection numbers. It is the Omicron subtype BA.2, which is supposed to be even more contagious than the regular Omicron mutation. Two and a half weeks ago, on February 20th, 2022, the share of BA.2 cases among all Corona infections in Germany was 38 percent. By now, BA.2 most likely is the dominating subtype, experts believe. At least for now, Germany intends to drop most Corona restrictions on March 20th, but give the federal states the right to take action in Corona hotspots.

While Germany is looking at Russia’s war in Ukraine and dealing with the arrival of refugees from there, the ongoing Coronavirus wave is not receding the way it was supposed to. There are 215,854 new infections today, some 29,000 more than last Wednesday. The Seven Day Incidence continues to rise. On top of it all, the number of Corona-related deaths is still high. More than 300 COVID-19 patients died since yesterday.

Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania now has the highest Incidence. The level is 1,767.2 today. Five more federal states are above 1,500. Brandenburg is looking bad as well, with an Incidence of 1,435. The province includes the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which has become Germany’s Corona hotspot, with an Incidence of 2,930.3.

The total number of Corona infections in Germany since the pandemic hit in early 2020 now exceeds 16 million, which means that almost 20 percent of all inhabitants have been or currently are infected. For the sixth day in a row, Germany’s Seven Day Incidence increased. It just reached 1,293.6. The number of Corona patients in intensive care increased to 2,156, even though the ongoing Omicron wave is supposed to recede, according to experts.

There is more bad news: Germany’s Corona vaccination campaign is stalling. For weeks, the interest in immunizations has decreased. People do not even seem to want Novavax, the new vaccine which was just approved in the Federal Republic’s Permanent Vaccination Commission. Experts fear there could be more severe disease progressions and an increased hospitalization rate during the next Corona wave because too many people are still unvaccinated.

Germany’s Corona infection numbers are on the rise again right now. Since yesterday, 78,428 new cases were registered, 16,000 more than last Monday. The Seven Day Incidence rose vom 1,231.1 on Sunday to 1,259.2 today. At this stage, Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania is Germany’s Corona hotspot. The state’s Incidence level is 1,764.7.

The discussion about the approach Germany should take in spring in continuing. For the FDP, which is part of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ government coalition, Justice Minister Marco Buschmann told the Funke Mediengruppe, a publisher of several newspapers, the people’s basic rights could not be restricted preemptively. In an interview with the same publishing house, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, a member of Scholz’ SPD, insisted the federal states needed to have the possibility to take anti-Corona measures again, including contact restrictions, in case of emergency.

March 6th, 2022

In Germany, experts expected the Omicron wave to recede. But the increasing Seven Day Incidence shows there is the opposite kind of tendency, at least right now. Also there might be an increasing number of unknown Corona cases. In most regions, the local health authorities have reached their capacities. Another reason is the fact that many infections are not being confirmed by PCR tests anymore which means they do not become part of the statistics.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach told the Funke Mediengruppe, a publisher of several newspapers, a “summer wave” had to be expected. In summer, the number of contacts people had would increase, he said. Along with a decreasing vaccination protection, this aspect could lead to rising infection numbers.

According to the Health Ministry in Berlin, the Omicron wave has surpassed its peak in most of Germany’s federal states, but not in all. In Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia, the Seven Day Incidence is still increasing. Minister Karl Lauterbach said Germany still needed to be careful. On March 20th, most Corona rules are supposed to be lifted.

Even though its Incidence is about twice that of Germany, neighboring Austria is dropping its Corona restrictions. From today, the curfews for clubs are a thing of the past, and the number of people who take part in events is not limited anymore. But Vienna, the capital, is keeping some restrictions, for now. Here, persons who want to enter restaurants, have to be vaccinated. Those who recently recovered from COVID-19 have access too.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence rose a little, for the second day in a row. Berlin has had a three-digit Incidence again for three days now, after registering four-digit levels for weeks.

Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania are Germany’s Corona hotspots right now, with Incidence levels above 1,600, followed by Bavaria with 1580.9. In the meantime, the Corona vaccination campaign is stalling. In the past weeks, between 16,000 and 157,000 persons per day got their shots. Not so long ago, up to 1.5 million people were immunized per day.

Germany empties its list of ‘High Risk Regions’. Starting today, entering Germany is easier. Because the ongoing Omicron wave causes far less severe progressions of COVID-19, the Robert Koch Institute decided to remove the remaining 62 countries from the list. From now on, countries with new, more dangerous Corona variants will be listed, but there are none at this stage.

In numerous federal states, new Corona rules apply from tomorrow. In Berlin, unvaccinated persons will have access to restaurants, hotels, hairdressers and similar businesses again as long as they have new and negative Corona test certificates. The city’s clubs and discotheques are reopening. In this case, people need to be vaccinated and tested. Those who recently recovered from COVID-19 may enter as well, with tests.

Germany will drop is list of ‘High Risk Regions’ on Thursday. At this stage, 62 countries are still listed in this category. The Robert Koch Institute said the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus had caused less COVID-19 cases with serious disease progressions. For this reason, only areas with new virus variants would be declared from now on. At this moment, the list of ‘Virus Variant Areas’ is empty.

The move will make travel easier. Until Thursday, persons who enter Germany from a ‘High Risk Area’, or who have been to one up to 10 days prior to their trip, need to register in advance and go into a 10-day quarantine unless they provide a vaccination certificate, proof of recovery or a new and negative Corona test beforehand. From tomorrow, this will not be required for any travelers, as long as there is no new Corona variant anywhere.

Berlin and other federal states in Germany are preparing to ease more Corona regulations on March 4th. On Tuesday, the Berlin Senate was scheduled to discuss the way ahead. Later this week, unvaccinated persons will probably have access to restaurants, cafés, pubs and hotels again, as long as they have fresh Corona tests with negative results.

Clubs and discotheques are supposed to reopen. Here, the ‘2G Plus’ rule will apply, meaning only vaccinated persons may enter, and individuals who recently recovered from COVID-19, as long as they have negative Corona tests as well. But masks will probably not be needed. The number of people who may enter stadiums and big indoor venues is supposed to be increased.

Since yesterday, 62,349 new Corona infection were reported. Last Monday, there were some 11,000 more new cases. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence keeps on falling, but does so very slowly. In Saxony-Anhalt, Germany’s Corona hotspot, the Incidence rose to 1,841.5 since Sunday. With 1,696.0, Bavaria has the second-highest level.

In the city state of Berlin, the new vaccine Novavax will be used starting today. Exactly 63,000 doses are available right now. There seems to be a lot of interest. All vaccination appointments at the vaccination center located at former Tegel Airport have been reserved. Berliners can also get immunized with Novavax at the drive-in vaccination center at Ikea in the Lichtenberg borough.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, the number of new Corona infections is 107,913, which is about 11,000 less than last Sunday. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreases slightly, to 1,240.3. By now, Saxony-Anhalt is Germany’s Corona hotspot. Its Incidence reaches 1,803.5. Bavaria’s level drops down to 1,695.3.

Five out of sixteen federal states now have three-digit Incidences again. Hamburg, which looked very bad when the ongoing Omicron wave commenced, now has a lower Incidence than all other states. It is 598.7. Just a few months ago, this would have been a catastrophic number. Now, it looks good.

Germany removes 35 countries from its list of ‘High Risk Areas’. Sixty-one countries are left on the list. A month ago, it contained more than 150 countries. The list has implications for travelers who intend to enter Germany. They need to follow rules prior to their trip and upon entry. At this stage, the other list, namely that of ‘Virus Variant Areas’, is empty.

The Corona infection numbers are continuing to drop slowly. Within the past 24 hours, 175,833 new Corona cases were registered in Germany, some 13,000 less than last Saturday. The Seven day Incidence decreased a little.

Experts fear the Omicron subtype BA.2. Some believe it has the potential to increase the infection numbers again. By the end of this month, which is only three days away, BA.2 could have a share of 50 percent of all Corona infections in Germany. This subtype seems to be far more contagious than type BA.1.

At this point, the infection numbers in Germany are decreasing slowly. Today’s number of new infections is 210,743, which is about 9,500 lower than last Friday’s number. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreased a tiny bit. In Berlin, the Incidence rose.

Germany’s number of new infections per day is still extremely high, but decreasing slowly. Today, there are more than 216,000 new cases. Last Thursday, there were more than 235,000. Back then, the Seven Day Incidence was 1,385.1. Since, it dropped down to 1,265.0. More than 200 Corona-related deaths are being registered every weekday.

In Bavaria, the Incidence does not seem to decrease with those in most other federal states. Today, it stands at 1,804.1. Bavaria is the nation’s Corona hotspot. Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Württemberg and Brandenburg still register very high Incidences too. In all three cases, the level is about 1,500 today.

The federal government is working on making international travel easier. Generally, the regulations are supposed to be eased. For now, families with children will benefit. Starting in early March, children from 0 to 11 years of age will be allowed to “test free”, meaning they will not have to go into quarantine anymore when they return from ‘High Risk Areas’ if they get tested for Corona and the result is negative.

Germany’s list of ‘High Risk Areas’ has shrunk substantially in the past few weeks. Recently, it included 153 countries. Now, it contains 97 countries and the ‘Palestinian Territories’.

The German Hospital Federation says the number of Corona patients who arrive at the country’s hospitals was still increasing. Its deputy chairman Andreas Wagner tells the ‘Rheinische Post’ daily, the momentum was slowing down, but the peak had not been reached. This applies to regular hospital wards. At the ICUs, the number of Corona patients is stable.

Still, some federal states are busy easing Corona rules. Brandenburg, the state with the second-highest Seven Day Incidence in the country, intends to get rid of its contact restrictions for vaccinated persons as soon as tomorrow. Neighboring Berlin wants to wait a little longer.

For the first time since February 12th, Germany’s Seven Day Incidence increases a little. But the number of new infections within the past 24 hours is slightly lower than it was last Monday. Berlin’s Incidence had risen for two days after it had dropped below 1,000 for the first time in weeks. Today, it decreased a little. Experts believe the Omicron wave has surpassed its peak by now.

In the meantime, an argument about mandatory Corona vaccinations erupted between the SPD and the FDP, two parties that are part of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ government coalition. In an interview with ‘Funke Mediengruppe’ Dirk Wiese, an MP who is part of the SPD, criticized Justice Minister Marco Buschmann of the FDP for expressing doubts in regard to compulsory immunizations. Increasing the vaccination rate was necessary in order to have “an opening perspective” in the next fall and winter as well. In the ‘Spiegel’ magazine, Minister Buschmann had said mandatory vaccinations could only be justified when there was an actual danger of an overburdening of Germany’s health system.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreases a tiny bit again. Today’s number of new Corona infections is just above 118,000, meaning there are 7,000 more new cases than there were last Sunday. In Berlin, the opposite trend was registered. Here, the Incidence is on the rise again. Two days ago, it was a three-digit number. Today, it stands at 1,111.2. Recently, Germany announced a lifting of most Corona rules by March 20th. Whether the timing was right remains to be seen.

In Berlin, Family Minister Anne Spiegel tells the ‘Bild am Sonntag’ weekly, mandatory Corona vaccinations were still necessary, in order to increase the vaccination rate. All other ways to reach this goal had been exhausted. The Minister said dangerous Corona mutations could lead to a difficult fall and winter if the immunization rate did not improve.

Berlin’s Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey is infected with Corona.

Her motorcade turned around immediately. Mrs. Giffey said she did not have any symptoms and announced her appointments would be converted to online-meetings while she was going to be “in isolation”.

Germany removes 22 countries from its list of ‘High Risk Areas’, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Spain, Algeria, India, Qatar, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. The changes take effect on Sunday. A total of 97 countries are still considered ‘High Risk Areas’ from the perspective of Germany.

Germany’s Corona vaccination arte reaches 75 percent, but the vaccination campaign has slowed down far more than anticipated. During the first three days of this week, between 114,000 and 187,000 persons were immunized. A few months ago, there were times when 1.5 million shots were counted per day.

The Seven Day Incidence decreases slightly, but the number of new Corona infections per day still is extremely high. The question is whether the easing of Corona restrictions which the federal government and Germany’s federal states are going for are actually justified in this situation. Experts are expecting the infection numbers to decrease. In the meantime, eased Corona rules now apply in Berlin.

Looking at the latest Corona infection numbers can cause doubts about the decision taken by Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers to lift most Corona restrictions in the next five weeks. Just hours after they decided to implement a three-step plan which will give people more freedom, more than 235,000 new Corona infections were registered. The Seven Day Incidence, on the other hand, keeps on dropping, but the number of Corona-related deaths does not.

Scholz insists Germany needs to continue to be careful. “The next Corona variant could come around the corner at any moment and pose new challenges. We have to be in the position to react in this case”, he says. In spite of the upcoming spring and the better times that could be ahead, the fact that the next fall and winter would be coming too should not be forgotten, he stresses.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the Governors from all federal states within Germany were going to discuss a draft resolution later today, according to which all “pervasive protection measures” will be lifted by the beginning of spring.

The city state of Berlin insisted on taking decisions even before the ‘Corona conference’ with Scholz. Its Senate decided to get rid of its ‘2G rules’ at restaurants, museums, memorials, the two Berlin zoos and the Botanical Garden. More tourists will have access to sightseeing tours on buses and boats because the ‘2G rule’ there will be replaced by the ‘3G rule’, meaning unvaccinated persons may go as long as they tested negative for Corona.

According to a draft proposal which is being discussed by the federal government and Germany’s sixteen states, most Corona restrictions could be lifted until March 20th, 2022. Several German-language media quoted from the document. On Wednesday, once Chancellor Olaf Scholz has returned from Moscow, he is scheduled to discuss the approach with the Governors.

In three steps, the measures that were implemented to slow down the third and fourth Corona waves are supposed to be retracted, if the number of new infections starts falling as expected. By the first day of spring, all “pervasive protection measures” might be thrown overboard.

For the second time this year, Germany’s Seven Day Incidence decreases a little. The number of new Corona infections is lower than it was last Monday, by about 19,000. With an Incidence of 1,811.8, Brandenburg is Germany’s Corona hotspot right now. Only two out of sixteen federal states, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia, have three-digit Incidences. All others are above 1,000.

Germany’s Expert Council on Corona says the infection numbers would likely stall and then fall in the coming weeks. “Opening strategies” needed to be planned and communicated in a comprehensive way. Anti-Corona measures needed to be cut back once the number of Corona patients in intensive care decreased. The Council says opening up too soon could increase the disease burden.

For the first time since December, Germany’s Seven Day Incidence, which shows how many persons got infected with Corona per 100,000 inhabitants in the past week, decreased a little. The Robert Koch Institute registered 125,160 new Corona cases in Germany today, 8,000 less than last Sunday. The question whether this already is a trend cannot be answered yet. Experts have said the ongoing Omicron wave would reach its peak in mid-February, meaning now.

The discussion about an easing of Corona restrictions continues all over Germany, among Berlin politicians and even within Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ government coalition. Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the FDP believes it is time for opening steps. He told the ‘Bild am Sonntag’ publication, there needed to be “a noticeable difference in our everyday lives” after the next Corona conference on Wednesday. Scholz and the Governors from the federal states will discuss the Corona situation and its implications then.

The approach would be discussed at the next Corona conference on Wednesday. Depending on the situation, more restrictions would be eased at a later time, he announced.

MPs from the three government parties SPD, ‘Bündnis 90/Die Grünen’ and FDP, have presented a draft law for mandatory Corona vaccinations. If if passes the Bundestag, everyone from 18 years of age needs to get immunized by October 1st, 2022. Pregnant women and persons who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons will be exempt.

In Germany, the total number of Corona infections since the pandemic commenced in early 2020 surpasses the 12 million mark. In the past 24 hours, more than 240,000 persons got infected and 226 Corona patients died. The Seven Day Incidence increases a tiny bit, but hits a new all-time high. According to projections by the Robert Koch Institute, the peak of the Omicron wave should be reached soon.

The total number of Corona patients in German hospitals is increasing. On Thursday, 2,396 of them were in intensive care, two less than on Wednesday, while the number of those in regular wards was 15,542. Their number grew by 21.5 percent within one week.

Most of Germany’s federal states have eased their Corona rules, or are in the process of doing so. In Brandenburg, Bremen, Hesse and Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania dropped their ‘2G’ regulations for non-essential shops. This means unvaccinated persons have access now as long as they wear FFP2 standard masks. Most states are trying to give people more “freedom” even though the Omicron wave is still in full swing.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has said the moment for lifting Corona restrictions had not come. For his cautious policy, he is being slammed by the opposition. For the conservative opposition party CDU, its chairman in Hamburg, Christoph Ploss (German spelling: Ploß), told the ‘Bild’ daily, Lauterbach was turning into the “Minister of fear”.

An argument about mandatory vaccinations for nurses, doctors and caretakers is escalating. By now, it has turned into a dispute between the conservative ‘union parties’ CDU and CSU on the one, and the better part of the government on the other hand. Bavaria’s First Minister Markus Söder intends to refrain from implementing the new law. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach slams him. He states the Corona situation was not under control yet. It was wrong to jeopardize a successful strategy. Observers were asking themselves whether the argument actually is about Corona or about attempts to swipe the federal government.

Things are more complicated though. One government party, the center-right FDP, wants the Corona rules to be eased. Several federal states, including some governed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ center-left Social Democrats, are in the process of lifting some restrictions, while the ongoing Corona wave has not even reached its peak.

Berlin and Brandenburg have announced they would get rid of what the Germans call ‘2G rules’ at non-essential shops. They prevent unvaccinated persons to enter retail businesses except for supermarkets, pharmacies and drug stores. Instead, the two federal states want to rely on FFP2 standard masks everyone has to wear. According to Berlin’s Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey, the step will help businesses and their employees. At this stage, they are forced to check everybody’s vaccination certificates.

Bavaria’s Governor Markus Söder announced he wanted to suspend the mandatory vaccination law for caretakers. He fears nursing homes might not have enough caretakers left after March 15th, when immunizations are required for persons of this profession. Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said the Bavarian state government needed to take the law seriously. This was about the protection of patients and nursing home residents.

An argument about Professor Lothar Wieler, the President of the Robert Koch Institute, may have been settled. Bijan Djir-Sarai, an MP for the FDP, one of the three parties that are part of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ government coalition, had said Wieler could not rely on the FDP’s trust anymore because he had shortened the duration of the status of persons who recovered from COVID-19 from six to three months without notifying anyone in advance. But Olaf Scholz and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach stated Wieler had done a great job in the past two years, and they still trusted him.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence increases slightly. Bavaria is the federal state with the highest Incidence. It reaches 1,786.0. On the list of counties and cities, Fürstenfeldbruck is at the very top, with a level of 4083,8.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach rejects the growing number of calls for an easing of Corona restrictions. “Our strategy has worked well, so far”, he tells ‘Bild am Sonntag’. “If we were to ease the restrictions too early, we would needlessly jeopardize our own success. Also, we would risk new, more dangerous infections and a prolongation of the wave.”

The infection numbers do not seem to have reached their peak yet. The Seven Day Incidence reaches another all-time high, while the number of new Corona infections within 24 hours is higher than it was last Sunday. Bavaria becomes Germany’s Corona hotspot yet again, with an Incidence level of 1,756.0.

Again, the number of new Corona infections in Germany is above 200,000. The country’s Seven Day Incidence reaches a new all-time high. Experts are hoping for a trend reversal in mid-February. The Bavarian town of Fürstenfeldbruck is the new German Corona hotspot, with an Incidence of 3,720.4. On the list of federal states, Berlin still is the nation’s hotspot.

In Berlin, changes to the Corona rules apply from today. For persons who were vaccinated recently, or who recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months, visiting restaurants is easier now, since they do not need Corona tests anymore. For the same group of people, going to hairdressers is less complicated as well. But most restrictions remain in place due to the extremely high number of new infections.

The discussion about an end to Germany’s Corona restrictions is continuing. Trade associations and similar organizations demand a lifting of the strict rules. They say the measures were damaging businesses. At the Bundestag in Berlin, decisions will have to be taken soon. According to the Infection Protection Act, the Corona restrictions will expire on March 19th, if the parliament does not prolong them.

Since yesterday, 248,838 persons in Germany got infected with Corona. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence reached yet another record level too. Berlin’s Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough is the nation’s new Corona hotspot. Here, the Incidence is 3,552.2 (no typo).

Hardly a day goes by without new record Corona infection numbers. In the past 24 hours, 236,120 persons caught the virus in Germany. The Incidence rose to 1,283.2, which is another all-time high. Still, Germany’s numbers are a lot lower than the ones in Denmark and other European countries. For this reason, the discussion about easing restrictions is continuing.

In an interview with ZDF television, Chancellor Olaf Scholz says of course Germany would look into getting rid of Corona rules once the peak of the ongoing wave had passed. “Unfortunately, we are not there yet”, he states. “I believe we are doing what is right for the citizens of this country. We are making sure the lives and health of as many people as possible are protected.”

Yet again, Germany just registered its highest number of new Corona cases ever. The country’s Seven Day Incidence is at an all-time high as well. And the number of Corona-related deaths seems to be increasing. Still, the discussion about easing the Corona restrictions is in full swing.

Justice Minister Marco Buschmann tells the ‘Rheinische Post’ daily, the rules for non-essential shops needed to be looked into. At this stage, only vaccinated and recovered persons may enter, except in some states, where courts have sacked this rule. While Buschmann wants to “retract protective measures” in March, Baden-Württemberg’s First Minister Winfried Kretschmann says it should not happen before Easter.

According to experts, a new Omicron ‘subtype’ could prolong the ongoing Corona wave. A Danish study came to the conclusion that BA.2 is more than twice as contagious than the Omicron variant that is dominating the world right now. The Green health expert Janosch Dahmen told the newspapers published by ‘Funke Mediengruppe’, an easing of the Corona rules in the next four weeks was unlikely, also because of BA.2.

In Germany, more than a million persons were infected with Corona in the past week. This is one tenth of all Corona infections since the pandemic commenced two years ago. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence surpassed the 1,200 mark, for the first time ever.

Three city states, namely Berlin (1,821.0), Hamburg (1,780.3) and Bremen (1,557.9), still are the nation’s Corona hotspots. The number of Corona patients in intensive care increases slightly. As many as 78,318 new Corona infections are reported, some 15,000 more than last Sunday.

Bavaria’s First Minister Markus Söder calls for an easing of Corona restrictions. In an interview with the ‘Tagesthemen’ broadcast on ARD television he concedes more infected patients are being treated at hospitals, but says if Germany’s health system was not overburdened, freedoms needed to be returned to the citizens. According to Söder, more people could be allowed to visit sports and cultural events. But, for now, the right approach was to wait until the next Corona conference with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers takes place in two weeks from now.

Every day, Germany registers record Seven Day Incidences. Today is no exception. The national Incidence level is now 1,156.8. More than 118,000 new Corona infections were reported since yesterday. Because there is no increase of cases with severe disease progressions so far, some Berlin politicians are calling for an easing of the Corona restrictions and regulations.

In Thuringia, some Corona deniers and anti-vaxxers staged protests yet again. In Erfurt, participants refrained from adhering to orders given to them by the police. Officers used pepper spray against some of them. Hardly any protesters wore masks or kept their distance.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) registers the third-highest number of new Corona infections ever, and the highest national Seven Day Incidence. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says Germany was still below the RKI’s projections. The problem was that there were too many unvaccinated persons above 60 years of age. Again, he asks people to get their booster shots, because those would decrease the risk of dying of COVID-19 substantially.

In the meantime, the RKI changes its list of High Risk Areas in the world. It adds eleven countries and removes thirteen. The total number of countries on the list is 153. (See full list here.)

January 28th, 2022

In regard to new Corona infection numbers, Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has to rely on estimates more and more. This has to do with the extremely high number of new cases and with the lack of PCR tests. Because the COVID-19 disease progression is mostly milder in the Omicron wave, many patients might not even contact their doctors. That is why the RKI uses the reported data it receives, but adds “estimated values”, according to its latest weekly report.

The numbers the RKI releases are still alarming. Today’s number of new Coronavirus infections is the second-highest one of all time. The highest one was released yesterday. Eleven federal states in Germany now have 4-digit Seven Day Incidences. They are Berlin (1,829.4), Hamburg (1,673.4), Bremen (1,588.7), Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein.

Germany just registered alarming record numbers again. More than 200,000 persons got infected with the Coronavirus within 24 hours. The Seven Day Incidence surpassed the 1,000 mark. Eight out of sixteen federal states have four-digit Incidences. They are Berlin (1,863), Hamburg (1,616.2), Bremen (1,491.0), Brandenburg (1,291.3), Hesse (1,202.1), Bavaria (1,159.0), Saarland (1,032.6) and Schleswig-Holstein (1,009.9).

At the Bundestag, mandatory vaccinations were discussed. Some MPs support this kind of step for all adults, others plead for compulsory immunizations for people from 50 years of age. In most democratic parties, some MPs generally do not want to force people to get vaccinated against Corona. The extremist party AfD rejects all anti-Corona measures, including mandatory vaccinations. A few steps away from the Reichstag building, which houses the Bundestag, anti-vaxxers staged protests. The government quarter was cordoned off.

Six Berlin districts have the highest Incidences in Germany. ‘Mitte’ stands at 3,109.6. It is the only spot on the RKI’s list of cities, counties and Berlin districts with an Incidence higher than 3,000. The only five spots with Incidences between 2,000 and 3,000 are the capital’s districts Pankow, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Spandau.

In Berlin, the Bundestag was going to start discussing mandatory Corona vaccinations today. Two Social-Democratic (SPD) MPs are working on a draft law. They are hoping for support from within the other two government parties, the Free Democrats (FDP) and the Greens. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is scheduled to hold a speech, but he insists he is doing it as an MP rather than as a Minister.

Since yesterday, 126,955 new Coronavirus infections had to be added to Germany’s statistics. The country’s Seven Day Incidence reached 894.3. It has never been higher than today. Now, there are five federal states with four-digit Incidences. Berlin (1,593.5) overtook Hamburg (1,547.4), and therefore just became the nation’s Corona hotspot yet again. Bremen (1,496.3), Brandenburg (1,194.8) and Hesse (1,025.4), which just hit its first four-digit level ever, look bad too.

On the Robert Koch Institute’s list of counties, cities and Berlin districts, Mitte, a borough that includes the capital’s eastern city center, has an Incidence level of 3,166.5 (no typo), which is unprecedented. For the third day in a row, the number of Corona patients in Germany’s intensive care units rises again, to 2,438. The number of Corona-related deaths from the past 24 hours is 214.

After yesterday’s Corona conference with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers, Markus Söder, the head of government in Bavaria, accuses the federal government of being responsible for the lack of PCR tests in an interview on ARD television. The prioritization of those tests, which are now supposed to be reserved for high-risk patients, doctors, nurses and other caretakers, while everyone else needs to rely on antigen tests, was approved at the online meeting. Its participants also decided to keep the contact restrictions and other Corona regulations in place, because of the high infection numbers.

Germany reaches the highest Seven Day Incidence level it has ever registered. At the same time, the number of Corona patients in intensive care increased again, for the first time in weeks. The overall Corona situation is on the agenda of today’s Corona conference. Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and the Governors from the country’s sixteen federal states will probably neither change the Corona restrictions, nor most regulations.

According to a draft proposal German-language media are quoting from, the participants will take a decision in regard to PCR tests though. The number of available tests exceeds the demand. That is why the remaining ones are supposed to be used for vulnerable population groups, nurses, other caretakers and doctors. Everyone else will have to use antigen tests.

Germany reaches yet another all-time high in regard to its Seven day Incidence, which is now above 800. Hamburg becomes the country’s Corona hotspot, with an Incidence of 1,529. On the list of counties, cities and Berlin districts, the capital’s Mitte borough has the highest Incidence. It stands at 2,845.8.

The government’s Corona Expert Council wants the government to prepare for a worsening of the situation, just in case. Its 19 members believe stricter measures need to be in the drawer so that they can be put in place at a moment’s notice. The Council also wants the vaccination campaign to be intensified. That is exactly what Health Minister Karl Lauterbach intends to do. In the ‘Bild am Sonntag’ publication, he announced a new, “more creative” advertising campaign which is supposed to commence on Tuesday.

On Monday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the Governors of the sixteen federal states were going to discuss the Corona situation and measures designed to slow it down yet again.

But those can be avoided in most cases.

The infection numbers are still going through the roof. Germany just reached its highest Seven Day Incidence ever. More than 130,000 persons got infected with Corona since yesterday. Berlin is Germany’s Corona hotspot. Its Incidence is above 1,400. The capital’s Mitte district is in a serious situation. Here, the Incidence level has reached 2,814.3.

Yet again, Germany registers its highest number of new infections ever. For the first time, more than 140,000 Corona infections were registered within 24 hours. The national Seven Day Incidence level surpassed 700. This has never happened before either. Five Berlin districts are Germany’s Corona hotspots. They are Mitte (2,200.1), Neukölln (1,592.1), Spandau (1,590.8), Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (1,586.3) and Pankow (1,537.2).

While the number of Corona patients in intensive care is still decreasing, it is on the rise in regular wards, according to the German Hospital Federation (DKG). Its chairman Gerald Gass (German spelling: Gaß) tells the ‘Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland’, the latest numbers from regions affected most by the Omicron wave showed that the strain at Corona wards was increasing substantially.

Omicron is hitting Germany badly. Every day, new record infection numbers are being released. In the past 24 hours, more than 133,000 people were infected with Corona. The Seven Day Incidence jumps to 638.8. Berlin’s Incidence now stands at 1,154.2. The worst Corona hotspot in the entire country is the capital’s Mitte district, which reached an unbelievable Incidence level of 2,286.0. This means one in 50 residents got infected in the past seven days.

According to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, there might be hundreds of thousands of new Corona infection per day in the second half of February. On ZDF television he said this kind of scenario was probable. Lauterbach stated he worried about the many unvaccinated elderly people in Germany.

For the first time ever, Germany registers more than 100,000 new Corona infections within 24 hours. The country’s Seven Day Incidence is at its highest level as well. Berlin now has a four-digit Incidence. It never did before. Brandenburg puts in place nightly curfews for unvaccinated persons in Potsdam and two counties.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach tells RTL television he expects the ongoing Corona wave to reach its peak in mid-February. This was when the infection numbers would probably decrease again. “We are not there yet”, he says in an interview with the ‘RTL Direkt’ broadcast.

Germany reaches yet another record Seven Day Incidence. Today’s level is 553.2. In spite of the fact that the number of new Coronavirus infections usually is low on Tuesdays, because of the weekend effect, it is very high today. There are more than 74,000 new cases. Bremen and Berlin remain Germany’s Corona hotspots, with Incidences of 1,297.4 and 962.8, respectively.

The rules for persons who recovered from COVID-19 just changed. Until now, their status ended after six months. This period was just decreased to three months. For recovered persons, this change has implications, for instance when they want to enter restaurants or other places with what the Germans call ‘2G Plus’ rules. They will need to be vaccinated and show negative Corona tests once those three months are over. With booster vaccinations, they will not need tests.

The Health Ministers from Germany’s sixteen states and Karl Lauterbach, their colleague in the federal government, were scheduled to discuss the Corona situation and its implications today. The outcome were going to be announced in the late evening. Recently, Lauterbach has asked the Germans to test themselves for Corona several times a week because of the rapidly spreading Omicron wave. Lauterbach supports compulsory Corona vaccinations.

On Monday in the early morning, the Robert Koch Institute reported 34,145 new Corona infections, some 9,000 more than last Monday. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence reaches yet another all-time high. It stands at 528.2 today. Because of the ongoing Corona wave, experts believe the infection numbers will keep on rising in the coming weeks.

Germany places 33 more countries and some regions in the world on its list of ‘High Risk Areas’. They include Albania, most of Austria, Bulgaria, Latvia and Serbia. Entering Germany is more complicated for persons who were in one of those countries or regions. At the same time, the situation is worsening in Germany itself. For the first time ever, the country’s Seven Day Incidence surpassed the 500 mark. The only good news is the fact that the number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care is decreasing, at last for now.

The discussion about compulsory Corona vaccinations continues. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach tells the ‘Bild am Sonntag’ publication, those immunizations needed to include three shots, including booster vaccinations. They were needed to protect people against all known Corona variants, at least in regard to severe disease progression and Corona-related deaths. He also predicts Omicron would not be the last letter in the “alphabet of Corona variants”.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach says Germany’s Corona strategy was working. By implementing contact restrictions and other measures, the country had managed to slow down the Omicron wave to some extent. The doubling time (of the infection numbers) had been stretched from four and a half to six days, and the additional time was used to administer as many booster vaccinations as possible. According to the Minister, one of Germany’s problems is the fact that there are too many unvaccinated persons. At this stage, the number of Corona-related deaths was not increasing and that of Corona stations in intensive care was even decreasing. Lauterbach believes this will change soon.

Professor Christian Drosten, a leading virologist at Berlin’s Charité hospital, states it was true that Omicron was a “milder” variant than Delta. But, because of the high number of people it infected, this effect would be neutralized. Germany’s main problem was the fact that 3 million people above 60 years of age were not vaccinated against Corona, and that 9 million persons in this age group were not ‘boostered’. Professor Lothar Wieler of the Robert Koch Institute confirms that 70 percent of all new Corona infections in Germany are Omicron cases.

New Corona rules are being put in place in Berlin (view overview).

Germany’s Robert Koch Institute reports many all-time highs. For the first time ever, the number of new Corona infections surpasses the 90,000 mark. The country’s Seven Day Incidence is above 470. Bremen reaches 1,427.2, while Berlin, the other Corona hotspot, stands at 949.8. Its Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district now has an Incidence of 1,520.7, Neukölln stands at 1,373.6. Omicron is to blame for the skyrocketing number of cases. It is now the dominating Corona mutation in Germany.

The Bundestag passed the new quarantine rules on Thursday night. Today, it is the Bundesrat’s turn. According to the new regulations, persons with booster vaccinations who were in contact with infected individuals do not need to go into quarantine at all. Everyone else needs to stay for ten days unless they test negative after a minimum of seven days. In the city state of Berlin, the new rule applies from today. In this case, the Senate will confirm it retroactively.

Seven hundred and sixteen days into the Corona crisis, Germany’s Robert Koch Institute reports the highest number of new infections of all time. Within 24 hours, more than 81,000 cases needed to be added to the statistics. Two city states are the country’s Corona hotspots. Bremen’s Seven Day Incidence hits 1,349.2, while Berlin reaches 918.6. Within Berlin, the worst hotspot is Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Its Incidence is 1,398.2.

At the Bundestag, Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterates he wants compulsory Corona vaccinations for all adults. But neither him nor Health Minister Karl Lauterbach introduce bills. In regard to this important question, they would rather let the caucuses and the entire parliament come up with a solution.

For the first time ever, Germany registers more than 80,000 new Coronavirus infections in 24 hours. The last sad record was reached on November 26th, 2021, when there were 76,414 new cases. Experts believe the numbers will increase even more because of the ongoing Omicron wave. It hit other European countries before it came to Germany. In the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other countries, the infection numbers literally exploded.

In two of Berlin’s twelve districts, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Neukölln, the Seven Day Incidence surpasses the 1,100 mark. Mitte, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Reinickendorf and Pankow register extremely high numbers too. Because of the serious situation, Berlin cancels one of its biggest cultural events, the Carnival of Cultures, for the third time in a row.

In Germany, the tiny federal state of Bremen and Berlin are the worst Corona hotspots. Berlin’s Seven Day Incidence is now 737.2. One district, Neukölln, is above 1,000. Others are approaching the 1,000 mark. Berlin has never seen these kinds of numbers. The city state’s new Health Senator Ulrike Grote tells the ‘Morgenpost’ daily, the infection numbers would increase further.

Senator Grote also says, Berlin would not be able to trace back all Corona infections to their sources because of the increasing numbers. At the city’s official Corona test centers, long waiting lines were seen. In some cases, people who had waited in the cold for hours were sent back home without tests.

In the afternoon, the Berlin Senate decides to tighten the Corona rules for the city. Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey calls the situation “very, very serious”.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence rises to 375.7. Berlin reaches 694.1. Neukölln, a large district, becomes the city’s Corona hotspot yet again, with an Incidence of 1,041.4. Only the north-western city of Bremen is at a higher level. According to the Robert Koch Institute, its Incidence is 1,080.9 today, which means that 1,081 persons per 100,000 inhabitants, or about 1 in 100 people, have been infected in the past 24 hours.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announces more anti-Corona measures. In an interview with the ARD TV and radio network he says the latest restrictions were not enough to defeat the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus. At some point, more would have to be added. In the ‘Bericht aus Berlin’ broadcast, Lauterbach conceded it was unclear how reliable Corona tests were in regard to Omicron, especially right after persons were infected. But not testing people at all would be “far too dangerous”.

Germany’s new government will likely not reach its goal to have compulsory Corona vaccinations in place by early March, according to the ‘Tagesspiegel’ daily. The paper reports, complicated legal questions and the dates of scheduled sessions at both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat were the reasons for delays which had to be expected. It might take until May or June. As a new poll conducted for ‘Bild am Sonntag’ shows, 61 percent of all Germans support mandatory Corona vaccinations.

In the meantime, Omicron is spreading quickly. Germany’s north-western part and Berlin are being hit the hardest right now. Berlin’s Seven Day Incidence just jumped to 685.7, which is an all-time high. Today, the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district is the city’s Corona hotspot, with an unbelievable Incidence of 885.0.

Once again, the Neukölln district is one of Germany’s Corona hotspots, with an Incidence level of 887.3. It is the highest Incidence ever registered anywhere in Berlin.

In Schleswig-Holstein, things do not look better. The Robert Koch Institute reported extremely high numbers for Lübeck (839.0), Kiel (693.4) and Flensburg (639.4). Located a bit further south, Bremen has the highest Seven Day Incidence of them all. It stands at 1,052.1 (no typo).

During their first Corona conference of the new year, Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers decide to change the rules yet again. Soon, persons who already got their booster vaccinations will still be allowed to enter restaurants, cafés and pubs without complications, while vaccinated people without booster will need (rapid) Corona tests as well.

The quarantine rules for ‘contact persons’ without symptoms are supposed to change too. Boostered individuals who were in contact with an infected person will not need to go into quarantine at all. Everyone else will have to stay isolated for ten days. After seven days, they may end their quarantine with a negative PCR test. It is unclear when exactly the new rules will apply.

In the meantime, the infection numbers are still on the rise. Germany’s Seven Day Incidence surpassed the 300 mark. In Berlin, it jumped from 416.9 to 511.5.

To Germany’s virologists, it is not a surprise that the infection numbers are increasing rapidly again, now that more reporting is being done again, after the Christmas vacations. The national Seven Day Incidence just jumped to 285.9. In Berlin, it surpassed the 400 mark again. Since yesterday, more than 64,000 new Corona cases were registered.

In Munich, hundreds of Corona deniers staged protests against the Corona restrictions yet again. Some of them tried to break though a police barrier. The officers had to use pepper spray and their clubs.

In Germany, the number of Omicron infections triples within a week. On December 28th, it was just above 10,000. Now, more than 35,000 cases have been confirmed. According to Berlin’s new Health Senator Ulrike Grote, Omicron just overtook the Delta variant in the German capital, with a share of 43.5 percent. Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey announced stricter Corona rules. The Senate would discuss the next steps to take after Friday’s Corona conference with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach tells the ‘RND’ in an interview, the “heavy wave” that was rolling towards Germany needed to be confronted. He announced he would suggest further measures at the Corona conference. Lauterbach also told unvaccinated persons to get immunized now. Even a first shot would bring about “an important protection effect”.

As expected, Germany’s Corona infection numbers are on the rise again, now that the Christmas vacations ended in some federal states. More than 30,000 persons were infected in the past 24 hours. The Seven Day Incidence jumped to 239.9. As it turns out, the vacations slowed down Germany’s vaccination campaign. In spite of the serious situation, conspiracy theorists protested against vaccinations and the government’s anti-Corona measures in several cities.

“The unvaccinated are the problem”, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach states. Even first vaccination shots could save lives, he stresses. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ Berlin government is worried the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus might lead to astronomically high infection numbers, as it did in the United Kingdom and other countries.

In an interview with the TV channels RTL and ntv he says he was worried because many unvaccinated persons would be affected, but they did not have any protection. Lauterbach twittered many people would be sent to hospitals during the expected Omicron wave. The share of Corona patients who may have to be treated in intensive care units might not be that high, but since Omicron is far more contagious than the Delta variant, the health system could be overburdened anyway.

On Friday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers will hold their next Corona conference. According to Minister Lauterbach, decisions need to be taken about the quarantine rules. Persons who already got booster shots may not have to go into quarantine anymore, or the duration might be decreased. Quarantines for individuals who work in the “critical infrastructure”, including hospitals, the fire department and police stations, would be discussed too, Lauterbach said.

The Robert Koch Institute still says the interpretation of the latest numbers was difficult because there was less reporting and testing during the Christmas holidays, which are about to end tomorrow in several federal states. In the coming days, the numbers are supposed to become reliable again. In spite of this aspect, Germany’s Seven Day Incidence keeps on rising again. Today, it stands at 222.7.

As the police in Cologne confirmed, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach’s office in the city was attacked on New Year’s Eve. Windows were broken. Lauterbach said he believed the attack was launched by antivaxxers or Corona deniers. German-language media quoted him as saying it was sad that these groups had radicalized themselves. They had become obsessed. He also said he was receiving hate mail from within those circles. It is not the first time Lauterbach’s office was attacked.

Germany just extended its list of ‘High Risk Areas’. Canada, Italy, Malta and San Marino are now on it. Mauritius is not on the list anymore. Persons who enter Germany from ‘High Risk Areas’ need to go into quarantine for ten days unless they are fully vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 up to six months ago. After five days, they can end the quarantine with a negative Corona test.

The Corona numbers are increasing again slowly. There are 26,392 new infections, some 4,000 more than last Saturday. Because of the ongoing Christmas holiday, not all health authorities report their numbers right now, which is why the Robert Koch Institute says the data should be interpreted with caution.

In his new year’s speech, Chancellor Olaf Scholz talks about Corona. He says Germany should stick together and be quicker than the virus. That way, the pandemic could be defeated in 2022.

The Robert Koch Institute’s latest Corona numbers are reliable in the sense that they show exactly what has been reported in the past 24 hours. At the same time they are not because there is less reporting and less people are being tested for Corona during the ongoing holiday. Even though data from many regions are still missing, for now, the numbers available are increasing.

Germany’s Seven Day Incidence was 207.4 yesterday. Now it is 214.9. Berlin’s Incidence rose substantially since Thursday, from 256.2 to 281.0. The number of Corona-related deaths remains high. It is unclear whether the increasing numbers are connected to the Omicron wave experts are expecting to hit. According to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, the numbers will paint a more accurate picture of the situation in about a week from now.

According to Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, the country’s actual Seven Day Incidence is likely two to three times higher than declared. He said because of the ongoing holidays, many employees who worked for health authorities were “not there” right now. This was why infection numbers in many regions were not reported. Lauterbach said he expected the data to be reliable again by January 7th, 2022, which is when Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the First Ministers are scheduled to have their next Corona conference.

Germany is expecting an Omicron wave to hit in early January. So far, 13,129 Omicron infections have been confirmed. In other European countries, this more contagious variant of the Coronavirus already is the dominating mutation.

In Munich, hundreds of Corona deniers and other conspiracy theorists staged illegal protests on Wednesday night. Some participants attacked police officers. One thousand of them were on duty. They initiated 700 legal proceedings against participants. In some cases, they used their bats.

Omicron is spreading around Germany. In the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and parts of Austria, the recently identified Corona mutation is already dominating the infection situation. Germany is not there yet, according to the official dat. But the number of Omicron cases is increasing rapidly. The week before last, 2,904 Omicron cases were confirmed. Last week, there were 6,257 additional ones.

After Christmas, the number of reported Corona infections seems to be on the rise again. More than 40,000 new Corona cases were registered since yesterday. It is the highest number since December 23rd. The Seven Day Incidence decreased to 205.5.

Exactly 700 days after the first Corona infection was confirmed in Germany, the numbers are decreasing. But, because of the ongoing holiday, not all health authorities and hospitals report their numbers. That is why the interpretation of the data is difficult.

In several German cities, anti-vaxxers, Corona deniers and other conspiracy theorists staged protests on Monday night yet again. At some locations, the situation escalated. In Bautzen, ten police officers were injured by violent protesters. Shortly after the pandemic hit Germany two years ago, the phenomenon of Corona deniers popped up. In spite of more than 110,000 Corona-related deaths and more than 7 million infections in the Federal Republic alone, they rally against measures designed to protect them, along with everyone else.

Because the reporting of Corona infection numbers paused over the holidays in many counties and cities, the official numbers are probably a lot lower than they should be. Germany’s total number of Corona infections just surpassed the 7 million mark, on the 699th day of the pandemic. This means there were 1 million infections per 100 days, statistically. After dropping substantially during Christmas, the number of new infections and the national Seven Day Incidence increased again on Monday. The same applies to Berlin’s Incidence.

Last week, the vaccination campaign, which includes first and second shots, but also boosters, continued at a high pace. On both Tuesday and Wednesday, more than 1.1 million persons were immunized.

The Robert Koch Institute reports the lowest number of new Corona infections in months. According to the data available, there are 10,100 of them. But since reporting stalls during the Christmas holidays, the actual number is likely a lot higher.

Even Ilm county in Thuringia, the nation’s Corona hotspot which had a four-digit Incidence until Saturday, is below 1,000 now. The national Incidence is 220.7, a lot lower than it has been in several weeks. But, because of the reporting issue, the RKI says the numbers should be interpreted with caution.

Virtually all Corona numbers decreased substantially on the first of two Christmas Days Germany celebrates. But the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said “a lower testing and reporting activity” needed to be expected during the holidays. This means the actual numbers might be higher. Germany’s official Incidence level of 242.9 is a lot lower than it had been in the past several weeks, but a lot higher than the maximum registered in all previous Corona waves. Before the ongoing fourth wave, it never exceeded 200.

One federal state, Thuringia, still has an Incidence above 600. All others are below 500 now, including the other former hotspots Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. According to the Christmas numbers the RKI released, Berlin’s Incidence level decreased substantially, from 322.3 on Friday down to 280.5 on Saturday.

Germany declares more countries ‘High Risk Areas’. They are Portugal, Spain, the United States of America, Cyprus, Finland and Monaco. Travelers who enter Germany from there need to go into quarantine for ten days unless they are fully vaccinated (two shots minimum) or recovered from COVID-19 recently. They also have to register online before they enter the country. Austria, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Cyprus and Serbia were taken off the list.

During the Christmas holidays, not all health authorities in Germany report infection numbers. According to the Robert Koch Institute, there are at least 35,431 new infections today. The number of Corona-related deaths since Thursday is 370. Berlin’s Incidence decreased a little, for the first time in nine days.

At this stage, at least 540 persons in Germany are infected with the Omicron version of the Coronavirus, according to the President of the Robert Koch Institute, Professor Lothar Wieler. This is the official number of registered cases. The actual one might be a lot higher. Wieler said the fact that Germany’s Corona infection numbers were falling right now was no actual tension release. An overburdening of the German health system needed to be expected because of Omicron. He asked people to keep their contacts to a minimum during the upcoming Christmas days.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach stated a fifth Corona wave could not be prevented from hitting anymore. According to him, booster vaccinations give people a protection of 70 to 80 percent in regard to symptoms, and one of more than 90 percent against a severe disease progression. Lauterbach said the Moderna vaccine was a good product which needed to be used for booster shots, also because it was available in large amounts.

While Germany’s infection numbers are falling right now, Berlin is moving against the Trend. For eight consecutive days, the capital’s Seven Day Incidence has been on the rise again.

In Germany, the last days of 2021 felt very much like the last days of 2020. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ new government and the federal states agreed on new contact restrictions because of the spreading Omicron variant of the Coronavirus. From December 28th, 2021, the maximum number of persons who may gather is ten. As soon as only one unvaccinated person is involved, the rules become stricter. In this case, people from one household may gather with up to two persons from up to one more household. Children up to 14 years of age do not count.

Scholz and the First Ministers also decided to close all clubs, including discotheques. Germany’s critical infrastructure, including hospitals, the police, fire departments, ambulance operators, water and electricity suppliers and telecommunication service providers are supposed to implement their emergency plans for pandemics. The fear is that an enormous number of people will be infected or in quarantine soon and that this issue could prevent the critical infrastructure from functioning.
