The death toll doubled compared to the previous week and reached 169. Hospital pressure has also grown.
he weekly incidence of coronavirus in Germany stood at 213.7 infections per 100,000 inhabitants this Tuesday, the highest level since the pandemic began and double last week, with the vaccination campaign stalled and amid discussions about possible exits to the crisis.
According to the latest data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) of virology, in the last 24 hours there were 21,932 infections, more than double that of the Tuesday of the previous week.
The death toll also doubled compared to the previous week and reached 169. Hospital pressure has also grown.
67.1 percent of the population has received the complete vaccine schedule and 69.7 percent at least the first dose.
According to a survey by the magazine 'Der Spiegel', 42 percent of Germans consider that current measures to deal with the pandemic are insufficient, while 27 percent consider them exaggerated and 31 percent consider them adequate.
One of the most discussed topics is the search for ways to increase the pressure on those who refuse to be vaccinated.
On the other hand, the Permanent Commission on Vaccination has not yet recommended that children under 12 years of age be vaccinated and that is not expected to happen before mid-December.
The Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and the Liberal Party (FDP) - which are negotiating a coalition agreement to relieve the current acting government of Angela Merkel - have drawn up a bill that, among other measures, would make the return possible to free tests.
The elimination of the free tests was done in the hope that this would lead to people getting vaccinated in order to enter restaurants and other places, but the vaccination campaign remains stagnant.
