In Germany, an increase in the number of people infected with mutated versions of the coronavirus was recorded. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the official representative of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Federal Republic of Germany Steffen Seibert.
The politician said that “good development”, when the number of diseases decreased daily, is a thing of the past.
“The numbers are rising again, the proportion of more dangerous and clearly more infectious mutations is growing, the proportion of B117 is 20-25 percent of new cases. We will soon receive new data. It should obviously be assumed that this proportion will grow further,” – noted Seibert. He added that the virus spreads most strongly in the border regions of the country.
Earlier, the head of the Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine of Germany, Gernot Marx, predicted that the coronavirus pandemic in the country would only be able to be brought under control by the fall of 2021. This will happen if the authorities manage to vaccinate all residents of Germany in a short time.
