    : The

    Corona * case

    numbers

    are also

    high

    during the

    Lockdown Light

    *.

    Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

    keeps reporting new highs

Berlin - The

Corona *

infection numbers

in

Germany

are still high.

The

Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

reported a supposedly low value with 15,741 new infections within one day on Sunday, but on

Friday

(

November

20) the number was still just under

22,600

infections.

The picture looks similar with the incidence values.

But where are people currently infected?

According to the Robert Koch Institute, the

incidence of infections is

currently mostly diffuse and difficult to assign.

However, accumulations

occurred

in “

households

, in community facilities and

old people's and nursing homes

as well as in professional settings and based on religious events”.

Due to the increased infection in old people's homes, the number of

Corona patients * treated in intensive care has

increased significantly

since mid-October

- from 655 patients (15.10) to 3,630 (21.11).

Virologists and ministers have already warned of a collapse of the hospitals.

However, there are currently no

bottlenecks,

the German Hospital Association has given the all-clear for the time being.

In some regions, however, predictable treatments are already being postponed in order to create free capacities.

Corona in Germany: Partial lockdown since the beginning of November - what's next?

- Extension or tightening?

A

partial lockdown has been in effect

in Germany since November 2nd

.

Restaurants and cafes

are

closed

and

leisure activities are put

on hold.

Even the big

New Year's Eve party

at the Brandenburg Gate is said to be canceled.

But the lockdown, originally planned until the beginning of December, does not yet seem to have the desired effect.

The number of

infections

is still

high

.

On Wednesday,

Angela Merkel

therefore

wants to

consult

with the country leaders about

extending

or

tightening

the measures.

For many politicians, the former seems to be already clear.

"Everything indicates that the current restrictions will have to be continued for a while beyond November 30," said Finance Minister Scholz, for example, of Bild am Sonntag.

Even

virologists and physicians

were in favor of

extension

of.

“The aim was to achieve a significant decrease in new infections.

Almost three weeks after the start of the measures, however, we do not see any significant drop, but a sideways movement, ”said the chief virologist at Heidelberg University, Hans-Georg Kräusslich, of the

Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung

.

Even if the general line seems to have been established, the

individual measures

have so far been

discussed

very

controversially

.

The SPD and the Free Voters in Bavaria are warning of an “endless” lockdown.

"Christmas * and New Year's Eve people should be able to meet their loved ones," said SPD circles.

The so-called

“one-friend rule”

is also criticized, as

reported by

Merkur.de

*.

Rhineland-Palatinate's Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) even accused her of being

“alien to life”

.

The new regulations will be finalized on Wednesday.

However, some details of the plans have already been made public.
