Update from January 7th, 12.50 p.m.:
Will the general compulsory vaccination come or will it not come? While the federal and state governments are discussing how to proceed on Friday, paediatricians are calling for a quick introduction of compulsory corona vaccination for all adults. He wanted "a general compulsory vaccination, and immediately," said the president of the professional association of paediatricians (BVKJ), Thomas Fischbach, opposite the
Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung
.
Politicians have shied away from the uncomfortable topic for far too long and now want to put the compulsory vaccination on the back burner, criticized Fischbach.

Berlin - On Friday, the federal and state governments will discuss the further course of action in the Corona * pandemic at the Corona summit, while the number of infections continues to rise.

Before the Corona summit: Incidence climbs higher and higher - RKI value cracks a sad mark again
The RKI gave the value of the official nationwide seven-day incidence, i.e. the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week, as 303.4 on Friday.
After the incidence had initially declined in recent weeks, the value has now cracked the sad mark of over 300 again. It has been increasing day by day since the end of December, although the RKI continues to assume that new infections are under-recorded due to fewer tests and reports in the course of the Holidays and the vacation runs out.
For comparison: the previous day the value was 285.9.
A week ago the nationwide incidence was 214.9 (previous month: 432.2).
