Coronavirus in Germany: The number of new infections is high.
The German university hospitals are reporting increasing numbers of patients in intensive care units.
The Corona * case numbers are at a high level in Germany.
The careless handling of the corona virus is also driving up the number of infections in Berlin.
Here we offer you the
current number of cases
in Germany
in a map
*.
Update from October 1, 8:55 p.m.:
According to information from
Focus Online
, the health authorities of the federal states have
reported
2589 new corona infections to
the RKI
.
In North Rhine-Westphalia alone there are 758 new cases.
16 more
deaths
are to be lamented.
Because Bavaria has canceled one death, the total number is now 9476. The Free State stands at 2661 - a sad peak among the federal states.
Pleasing: The nationwide
reproduction number
has fallen further to 0.9.
In Cologne (36.4), Duisburg (36.9), Gelsenkirchen (40.7) and the Oberbergischer Kreis (35.6), the
limit of 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants was
exceeded within one week.
Here,
restrictions
on celebrations in restaurants and spectator numbers at football games would apply.
The two
hotspots
Hamm (95.5) and Remscheid (59.5) are even above the second mark, the incidence value of 50.
Coronavirus in Germany: has there been a change in the quarantine requirement?
Update from October 1, 6.15 p.m.:
Apparently, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer wants to
bring about
a significant
reduction in quarantine for returnees from corona risk areas
.
The news portal
ThePioneer
, which refers to a
draft
ordinance by the Ministry of the Interior,
reports
on this.
The quarantine obligation for travelers returning from regions that are classified by the RKI as corona risk areas remains.
In the future, this should generally
include
ten days after entry
- four days less than before.
"From the fifth day in isolation there is the possibility of
ending isolation with
a
negative test result
," says the draft.
"The test may be
carried out
on the
fifth day after entry
at the earliest
."
Those affected should, however, have to inform the responsible authorities immediately if they should have
symptoms typical of
Corona,
such as cough, fever, runny nose or loss of smell and taste
within ten days of entry
.
The model ordinance of the Minister of Health should serve as a recommendation for the federal states.

Corona virus in Germany: police blow up wedding with 400 guests
First report from October 1:
Munich - The
corona cases in Germany
are picking up.
The number of registered new corona infections in Germany exceeded the threshold of 2,500 within a few days.
According to the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI), the health authorities reported 2,503 corona infections within 24 hours.
That was 705 more than the day before.
Twelve people died.
In order to slow the corona pandemic, the federal government and the federal states have agreed on new corona rules, local measures such as
limiting
the
number of participants
for private parties in public or rented rooms and introducing
fines for incorrect information in contact lists
.
In addition to the distance and hygiene regulations in trade and local transport, a mask requirement applies nationwide.
Corona in Germany: Police dissolve wedding celebration with 400 guests
However, many are quite relaxed about the corona virus.
Especially at private parties, hygiene regulations and distance rules to protect against corona infection are apparently quickly forgotten.
The
police in Bremen had to prematurely break off
a
wedding celebration with 400 guests
.
A large part of the celebrants did not adhere to the distance rules and did not wear mouth and nose protection, the police said on Wednesday.
In the restaurant, the permitted upper limit of 250 people was clearly exceeded.
After the organizer and the police tried several times in vain to influence the behavior of the guests, the wedding party was ended.
Violations were documented and several reports were made, according to the police.
The police had been notified by a caller late Tuesday evening via emergency call.
The corona situation in Bremen is serious.
The current
7-day incidence
is
31.2
, the RKI announced on Thursday.
Bremen as a federal state thus has the highest value and has Berlin in second place (7-day incidence:
29.4) is displaced.
Corona in Germany: Illegal parties and family celebrations - the virus is rampant in Berlin
The carelessness in dealing with the coronavirus is causing problems in Berlin.
Illegal parties in trendy neighborhoods, but also family celebrations, accelerate the number of corona infections.
The Berlin districts of
Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
,
Mitte
and
Neukölln
are particularly affected
.
The infection process is slowly pushing the health authorities to their limits.
Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
is particularly affected
.
There are currently no restrictions on public life there.
Due to the location of the district, it is also difficult to enforce.
"If we were a municipality like Garmisch-Partenkirchen, we would probably act similarly," said Knut Mildner-Spindler (SPD), City Councilor for Health in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, as reported by the Tagesspiegel.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen * (Bavaria) ordered mass tests after a corona outbreak and imposed far-reaching restrictions.
Munich * (Bavaria) had reacted to the rapidly increasing number of infections with contact restrictions and a mask requirement in the city center.
In
Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
, a debate about the
help of the Bundeswehr
in the Corona crisis has broken out.
The Berlin district (green-left alternative) has so far categorically rejected the use of soldiers in the health department.
Federal Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer reacted in surprise.
Federal Minister Jens Spahn also reacted with incomprehension.
In other districts, the Bundeswehr supports the health authorities in tracking contacts.
In Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, the value in the past few days has always been just below the upper limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days.
Berlin-Mitte has already torn the value at 56.7 (as of October 1, 0 a.m.).

The German
university hospitals are
reporting increasing numbers of
patients in the intensive care units
, reports the AFP news agency.
