The coronavirus situation in Germany remains dynamic.
Meanwhile, there is confusion about the vaccination dashboard for the corona vaccinations.
The news ticker.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany
: The Corona * case numbers are still high.
The vaccination dashboard for the corona vaccinations will not be updated at Easter
(update from April 5, 5:35 p.m.).
NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet brings a "bridge lockdown" into play
(update from April 5th, 2.30pm).
This
news ticker on the corona pandemic in Germany
is updated regularly.
Update from April 5, 10:10 p.m.:
CDU boss Armin Laschet is calling for a bridge lockdown for Germany * in the coronavirus pandemic.
What measures this envisages - and what that would mean for the hoped-for easing (see link).
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: how many people vaccinated?
No overview over Easter
Update from April 5, 5:35 p.m
.: In the coronavirus pandemic in Germany, aids that are as understandable as possible should help make the situation and any progress understandable.
One such aid is the
vaccination dashboard of
the Federal Ministry of Health, which is subordinate to the head of department Jens Spahn (CDU).
The corona vaccinations in Germany are illustrated on this.
But instead of the previously discussed “Easter peace”, the digital
vaccination dashboard
stayed
pretty quiet over the holidays
.
How many people were vaccinated over Easter?
What was the status on Monday, April 5th?
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: vaccination dashboard will not be updated over Easter
Until early Monday evening, as of 5.30 p.m., this question was pursued in vain.
Because: The last update at this point in time was April 3, 9:10 a.m., and showed the data from Good Friday (April 2).
Nothing
happened on the
vaccination dashboard
for at least two and a half days
.
And that, although many citizens find motivation and hope just by looking at the vaccination numbers.
What went wrong (again)?
Who and why was not reported promptly?
In the corona crisis, it is not uncommon for the vaccination overview to only be adjusted again on weekdays.
But apparently the time delay also applies to public holidays.
Helpful?
Or rather confusing?
Striking: Minister Spahn had repeatedly used the tool as evidence in recent weeks to point out alleged progress in the vaccination campaign, while Germany is hopelessly lagging behind other countries in terms of vaccinations.

Update from April 5, 5:10 p.m.:
Often the eyes in the coronavirus pandemic went to Tyrol.
In the Austrian state, a church service near the German border is causing a stir.
Specifically: Because a person infected with Corona was at an Easter mass - a large-scale appeal followed.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: violation of corona rules ends in a bad fall
Update from April 5, 3:32 p.m
.: To avoid a corona penalty, a young man fell from a balcony on the fourth floor in Wipperfürth in North Rhine-Westphalia.
He suffered serious injuries, as the police in the Oberbergischer Kreis announced on Monday.
The 22-year-old was one of a group of four young men who met in an apartment on Friday evening to celebrate together.
After a neighbor called the police, two of the men hid on the balcony when the doorbell rang.
While the police in the apartment were talking to the two remaining men, the 22-year-old fell into the depths - presumably while trying to climb onto a neighboring balcony.
He was taken to a hospital seriously injured.
Corona: Laschet urges new "bridge lockdown"
Update from April 5, 2.30 p.m
.: North Rhine-Westphalia Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) announces three million vaccine doses for April in his state.
"The pace is accelerated," emphasizes the NRW boss during a visit to a vaccination center in Aachen.
Before the start of the summer vacation, at least half of Germans will be vaccinated once.
"We need a bridge lockdown"

"By the end of the summer every German will receive a vaccination offer," emphasizes Laschet.
The NRW Prime Minister tries to spread optimism.
But: "Until then, we need a bridge lockdown," the NRW Prime Minister demands.
In many areas, it must be added towards lockdown.
For example, curfews are an effective means, comprehensive tests for daycare centers and debts as well as a home office offensive in the next two to three weeks.
The Corona summit planned for March 12 must be brought forward this week and take place in attendance, said Laschet.
In North Rhine-Westphalia the incidence is 123.9.
This value and the numbers are only partially meaningful, there will be delays in reporting.
However, the indicator of Covid patients who need intensive medical treatment is real.
"These people are in an intensive care unit."

Spahn: "Vaccination does not prevent the third wave"
Update from April 5, 12:36 p.m
.: Federal
Minister of
Health Jens Spahn (CDU) warns of the continuing risk of infection from the corona virus.
"Vaccination does not prevent the third wave, the third wave is growing," said the CDU politician in Berlin during a visit to the Messe vaccination center.
Countries with a higher vaccination rate such as Chile, Great Britain or the USA showed that contact restrictions are still necessary.
Spahn calls the situation in the intensive care units and in the clinics * in view of increasing occupancy rates worrying.
"We have to break this third wave and reduce contacts," he said.
“Especially in the private sector, in schools, at work, wherever it is possible.” The minister calls on the federal states to apply the emergency brake consistently in order to bring the numbers down.
Spahn also expects that 20 percent of the population will have received a first dose of vaccine by the end of April.
In the first quarter, due to the shortage of vaccines, only about ten percent of Germans were vaccinated, "we will now be able to do the next ten percent in a month," said Spahn on Monday when visiting a vaccination center in Berlin.
Spahn emphasized that the vaccination campaign will "gain more and more speed in the second quarter"

Corona in Germany: British mutant at almost 90 percent - the worst hotspot is now in Bavaria
First report from April 5:
Berlin / Munich - Germany's corona hotspot is currently in Bavaria: Hof has a 7-day incidence of 469.2 (as of April 5).
With this value, the Bavarian city is the new front runner in new corona infections.
Greiz (Thuringia) is in second place with 429.2.
That comes from the data of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
In Bavaria as a whole, the 7-day incidence is currently 132.2 and in Thuringia with 227.8 it is the highest in Germany (see list below).
Corona hotspots in Germany according to the RKI (data status: April 5, 3.09 a.m.)
SK Hof - 469.2 (previous day: 469.2) - 12 new infections within 24 hours
LK Greiz - 429.2 (previous day: 481.5) - 45 new infections within 24 hours
SK Gera - 344.7 (previous day: 345.8) - no new corona cases reported according to RKI.
Corona situation in Germany
The Robert Koch Institute * (RKI) recorded 8,497 new corona infections on Easter Monday.
That is 1,375 fewer cases than on Monday a week ago.
In addition, 50 other people died within one day of or with a corona infection *.
However, the corona case numbers on the Easter holidays are less meaningful.
The RKI expressly points this out.
Fewer tests would be done and reported, and fewer people would see a doctor.
So there may be late registrations and corrections in the next few days.
The 7-day incidence nationwide is 128.0.
According to the RKI experts, this value could explode after the Easter holidays *, reports
Merkur.de
*.
The corona mutation B.1.1.7, first discovered in Great Britain, now has a share of 88 percent in Germany.
"This is worrying because, according to previous knowledge, B.1.1.7 is more contagious than other variants."
7-day incidence in selected federal states
Thuringia: 227.8
Saxony: 189.7
Saxony-Anhalt: 159.5
Schleswig-Holstein: 67.7
