(CNN) -

Germany recorded 410 coronavirus-related deaths in the past 24 hours.

This is the highest number of deaths in a day since the outbreak began, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the country's disease control agency, said on Wednesday.

It was the first time that more than 400 deaths from Covid-19 were recorded in Germany in a single day.

The country is currently grappling with a recent surge in new coronavirus cases.

A total of 18,633 new infections were recorded in the last 24 hours, according to RKI.

• Europe believed that Germany would always have ICU beds to share.

  Now they are almost all busy

This Wednesday, Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet with state governors to decide on new measures to try to control the increase in infections.

Among the measures being debated are an extension of the current lighter restrictions until the end of December, additional mask mandates for schools and additional limits on the number of contacts people can have both in public and in private.
