Coronavirus: Where do people get infected in Germany?
According to the RKI, the high number of nationwide cases is mostly due to a
vague event
.
"For a large proportion of the cases, the infection environment cannot be determined," says the RKI management report.
Corona outbreaks therefore occur in households, community facilities, old people's and nursing homes as well as in the professional environment and at religious events.
But there are also smaller outbreaks in hospitals, facilities for asylum seekers and refugees and religious events that are driving up the number of corona cases.
Funerals are particularly difficult in Corona times.
In Bremen, the police broke a memorial service with 400 family members.
The mourners would have violated hygiene rules, but showed themselves to be "insightful".
Corona in Germany: the positive rate of the test is higher than ever - material in the laboratories is scarce
According to the data from the Association of Accredited Laboratories in Medicine (ALM), the
positive rate
for the corona tests * carried out continues to rise and is
9.6 percent
for the 47th calendar
week (
November 16 to 22)
(previous week: 9.2 Percent).
It was the highest weekly value since ALM data collection began, it said on Tuesday.
The participating laboratories carried out about as many PCR tests for Sars-CoV-2 as in the previous week.
But the material is scarce.
“We all fall back on manufacturers who are active on the world market.
That doesn't make it any easier for us, ”said Evangelos Kotsopoulos, director of the ALM.
As pleasant as it is that
corona vaccines are
currently being
developed and already being produced
at
high pressure
: The need for plastic materials, for example, is thus increasing.
