The corona numbers in Germany are increasing dramatically.
Politicians are expecting 20,000 new cases per day soon, as has now leaked.
Are stricter, nationwide measures coming soon?
The number of corona cases in Germany is increasing rapidly.
The R-value * was 1.2 on Friday (October 23).
The second
wave
* seems unstoppable.
As has now become known, politicians are expecting numbers to exceed 20,000 infections per day very soon.
This ticker is updated continuously.
Munich -
14,714 new infections
with the
coronavirus
were reported on Friday in Germany - record.
But that's probably not all.
As leaked from a secret video chat of the state chancellery heads of the federal states on Friday, politicians are expecting 20,000 infections per day in Germany in October or early November.
This is reported by the picture.
This would mean an additional increase of over 30 percent.
Stricter measures could then be adopted at the next Prime Minister's Conference on October 30th.
It is currently unclear what these are.
Schools and companies should remain open, so other areas would have to be restricted.
Coronavirus Germany: hotspot strategy unsuccessful?
Are there now nationwide measures?
As the newspaper further reports, the countries
are questioning
the
hotspot strategy
.
This strategy reacts regionally to the corona numbers.
The Prime Ministers agreed on this strategy on October 14th, and since then the corona numbers have assumed dramatic courses almost everywhere.
198 districts
exceeded
the
incidence value
of 50.
It is usually no longer possible to follow up on all cases, as is the case in Berlin.
The
7-day incidence is
over 100
in a total of 35 counties nationwide
, including districts of the capital.
In the case of the record circles, the value is beyond 200.
According to Schalte, the health authorities in many countries are at their limit.
The federal states are therefore also discussing the measure of using short-time working to follow up on contacts.
The possibility of
restricting
the follow-up to
risk groups is
also an option
.

It is therefore also unclear what is
really
driving
the
pandemic
.
It is not clear whether the main distribution channel is actually via private parties, as claimed by the Robert Koch Institute *.
In many cases, the authorities simply do not know how the virus spread.
