DThe 7-day incidence of coronavirus has been increasing for about four weeks.according to Robert Koch Institute (RKI) Starting this Wednesday morning, it is now 18.5 nationwide. The value of the previous day was 17.9, and the Wednesday of the previous week was 15.0.
German health authorities reported 3571 cases of new crown infection to RKI in one day. A week ago, the value was 2,768 infections in 24 hours.
To date, this incidence has been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the Federal Emergency Brake that expires at the end of June. In the future, more consideration will be given to other values such as hospital admission.
25 new deaths
According to new information, Germany recorded 25 deaths within 24 hours. 21 people died a week ago. The number of people who died or was confirmed to be infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus rose to 91,704.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, RKI has counted 3,777,446 detected Sars-CoV-2 infections. Since many infections have not been detected, the actual total may be much higher. RKI stated that the number of people who have recovered is 3,659,900.
Teachers’ Association: Don’t treat unvaccinated children differently
The German Teachers’ Association warns against treating vaccinated and unvaccinated children differently in schools. “Basically, we oppose the unequal treatment of vaccinated and unvaccinated children in daily school life, at least as long as not all children receive the vaccinations,” Heinz-Peter Medinger, owner of the Association of the Rhein Post Say.
However, he believes that different quarantine regulations within a class are conceivable: “If a vaccinated student becomes infected, the health authorities may order other, shorter or no quarantine measures.”
Ulrich Weigeldt, president of the Association of General Practitioners, called on the federal states to allow all families to go to school safely after the summer break-including unvaccinated children and adolescents. “One thing must be clear: Under no circumstances should there be only two options:’vaccinations’ or’homeschooling’,” Weigelt told the Rhein Post.
In the next few weeks, the practice of doctors is expected to have more inquiries from disturbed parents. “So far, we haven’t received any feedback about families that need advice. But the demand will definitely increase, also due to differences in public discussions,” he said.
The federal and state health ministers decided on Monday evening to provide a wide range of corona vaccinations for teenagers over 12 years old in medical institutions, vaccination centers and schools. Stiko recommends that children between the ages of 12 and 17 be vaccinated only when there are special risks.
