A week ago, the number of infections in Germany was 8,324.
According to new information, Germany recorded 39 deaths within 24 hours. 22 people died a week ago. Since the beginning of the pandemic, RKI has detected 3,889,173 detected Sars-CoV-2 infections. Since many infections have not been detected, the actual total may be much higher.

of Bundestag Proposals were made on Wednesday to extend the “nationwide epidemic” due to the coronavirus pandemic. Established circumstances give the federal government the right to issue decrees directly without the consent of the Bundesrat, such as decrees on testing, vaccinations, occupational health and safety, or entry. In addition, according to the Infection Protection Act, specific measures that can be determined by the federal states, such as mandatory wearing of masks or restriction of contact, are all related to the determination of the “epidemic”. Before the vote, the opposition criticized the extension requested by the coalition groups.
Opposition criticism
“When we asked, the federal government could not even convincingly prove that there is a foreseeable risk of overloading the medical system,” said the Liberal Democratic Party police. Wolfgang Kubic German editorial network. But this is a mandatory legal requirement to extend this kind of emergency. “The extensive restrictions on fundamental rights and the authorization to issue statutes are reasonable in a special situation that no longer exists. This fact may be close to certainty and not constitutionally tenable.”
Green team leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt It is wrong to tell RND that the continuation of the “epidemic” remains unchanged. “The pandemic is not over. We must continue to be careful.” However, the vaccine makes the situation different from winter. “We now need a regulation that adapts to the new situation, and taking into account the number of people vaccinated, business as usual.” Prerequisites must be created “in order to legally ensure that certain measures tailored to the current Covid 19 situation, such as masks, AHA rules, and tests, will continue to be limited in law.”
The Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the Chancellors of the federal states have asked the Bundestag to “consider” extending the epidemic beyond September 11.The last decision of the Bundestag was on June 11th because of special circumstances Coronavirus pandemic continue living. At that time, the factions of AfD, FDP and Die Linke all voted against it. The vast majority of government factions agreed, and despite criticism, most of the Green Party also voted in favor.
There is no debate about morbidity as a measure
This Wednesday has not yet discussed plans to use incidence as the only indicator of restrictions. This new provision in the Infection Protection Act may be decided at a further meeting before the September federal election.The previous incidence rate50 is still based on the Infection Protection Act, as a benchmark for stricter measures, and should be in line with the plan of the health department Federal government Was deleted because vaccination improved the situation. In the future, the number of people admitted to hospital due to Covid-19 should be decisive. Which figures or figures will actually lead to which measures remain open.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach believes that in the case of severe infections, it is necessary to further restrict those who have not been vaccinated. “If the number of cases continues to rise so rapidly, especially in North Rhine-Westphalia, it will be necessary to tighten the regulations for people who have not been vaccinated,” he told the Funke Media Group newspaper. “This also includes 2G rules that are as consistent as possible, at least in very high-risk areas.” This means that certain events are only open to people who are vaccinated or recovering-but not to others, even if their The corona test was negative.
Controversial model in Hamburg
The Hamburg Senate decided on the corresponding “option model” on Tuesday: Hamburg’s restaurants, clubs, bars and cultural institutions can almost fully recover their capacity from Saturday, provided that people who have not been vaccinated are not allowed to enter. Since Monday, “3G” has come into effect in more and more federal states: Many indoor public spaces are only granted to people who have been vaccinated, recovered, or tested.
