The omicron variant of the coronavirus is also on the advance in Germany.

The RKI provides data on this.

Berlin / Frankfurt - The number of Omikron cases * in Germany is increasing rapidly.

The new Corona variant * is becoming more and more popular.

So far, 10,443 corona infections with the mutation have been measured.

This is based on data from the Robert Koch Institute.

This corresponds to an increase of 45 percent (3218 cases) compared to the previous day (Monday, December 27th, 2021).

According to the RKI, there have been four deaths in Germany so far that were related to Omikron infections.

The institute expects that the variant will soon develop into the predominant mutation of Sars-CoV-2 and replace the delta variant.

A total of more than 20,000 new corona infections were reported to the RKI by the health authorities on Tuesday (December 28, 2021). *

Corona variant Omikron: research with initial findings

The Omikron variant is considered highly infectious, in other words: It spreads further quickly.

Researchers have also found out what can lead to a kind of “super immunity” compared to Omikron. * In addition, there are scientific findings about the effect of corona vaccinations with regard to the Omikron variant.

It was found, for example, that a dead vaccine hardly works against it. *

The RKI reports the number of new corona infections in Germany on a daily basis.

Part of this is due to the Omikron variant.
