According to a media report, 300,000 students are currently in quarantine

(see update from November 11, 7.49 a.m.)

.

This affects 30,000 teachers.

The situation is also reflected in the figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).

In the current RKI management report, the age-specific proportions are shown as a 7-day incidence per 100,000 inhabitants according to the reporting week.

The number of cases has increased significantly in the age group 0 to 9 years and 10 to 19 years.

Corona in Germany: Spahn sees "encouraging" signs

Update from November 11th, 9.46 a.m.:

According to Federal Health

Minister

Jens Spahn, the

current

corona case numbers

are a sign of a

positive change

.

The dynamics of the infection process have "significantly reduced" in the past few days, said Spahn on Wednesday in the program "Frühstart" on the TV channels RTL and ntv.

“It is still rising, but it is rising less rapidly.

That's encouraging at first, but it's not enough. ”It is still too early to speak of a“ trend reversal ”.

In the past 24 hours,

18,487 new corona infections

(previous day: 15,332) and 261 deaths (previous day: 154) were recorded

in Germany,

reports the

Robert Koch Institute

(RKI).

For comparison: last Wednesday 17,214 corona cases were recorded (see update from November 11, 6:23 a.m.).

The

7-day R

is 0.92 (previous day: 0.98), writes the RKI in its current management report (November 10).

This value reflects the infection process 8 to 16 days ago.

If the 7-day R is below 1, the infection process subsides

.

It's still rising, but it's rising less.

At first, that's encouraging, but it's not enough. "

Health Minister Jens Spahn

Corona in Germany: What happens to the Christmas holidays?

Spahn commented positively on a proposal by NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU)

to start

the

Christmas holidays

earlier

because of the

corona pandemic

.

"That is certainly part of the debate," said the minister.

Planability is important for parents, children and teachers.

“That would be the case with such a measure.” On the other hand, Spahn sees no scope for larger Christmas parties.

recovered

from

Corona

*

nationwide

Germany

seems

to be

getting

through this

Covid 19 crisis

comparatively well

.

If you can even say that in this context.

A glance at neighboring

France

to the west is sufficient for this impression

.

41,094 people are there, also as of 10 November on or with the

coronavirus

died.

And: The

intensive care units

are obviously at their limit.

Germany is therefore again taking in patients from France in order to give them intensive medical treatment in this country.

Specifically: On Tuesday, for example, a man seriously ill with

Covid-19 was

brought to Dortmund from France by helicopter.

That's what the

heute journal

reports

.

“We lack beds.

The relocations allow us to take in other sick people.

This patient's bed will be occupied again in a few hours, ”explained the French emergency doctor Fabien Lambiotte to

ZDF.

Is

Germany

helping

with more intensive care beds?

The fact is: the

intensive care units

are in

focus more than ever

in this phase of the

- on both sides of the Rhine.
