Despite the first easing in the Corona of a pandemic, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) emphasises the seriousness of the situation. “The Virus is not going away,” said RKI Vice President Lars what a pity in Berlin.
“It’s not the end of the epidemic is in sight. The case numbers can rise again.” The Situation is still serious, even if, in Germany, in the fight against a lot had been achieved.
“The numbers of cases need to remain on a Level with which the health system can deal with it,” stressed what a pity. The best is to press as far as possible.
“If the case, shoot numbers in the height, can be overloaded the health system is still very fast. Then, patients can no longer be supplied in the best possible way.”
The consequences would be serious for all people in Germany, not only, for example, for Doctors and Covid-19-patients. In this scenario, it is important to continue to prevent.
Corona-measures continue to comply with
What a pity on called the people to continue to follow the recommendations: to stay Around as much as possible at home, to keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters, to wash the hands, to sneeze into the crook of your arm or wear a cough and, in addition, for example, in shops or in public transport, a mask over the mouth and nose.
A mask alone is not a reliable protection, especially for the carrier itself, stressed what a pity. Textile barriers in front of the mouth and the nose are not to avoid infecting others, you should be self-infected.
The daily increases in the numbers of cases are, according to what a pity now to be considerably lower than in the previous week. For the past few days but still cases imitation could be reports.
The proportion of deaths of Infected rose further to 3.2 percent.
Coronavirus: reproduction number is decreased
The reproduction number was on Monday, about 0.9: This means that, on average, almost every one more Person Infected infects.
As in the case of numbers, there is also great regional differences. The reproduction number was in the past few days, a little less than 0.9. However, this is subject to the estimated number according to the RKI is also a certain degree of uncertainty.
Both values should remain after the “quite reasonable” compromise of the Federation and the länder in a “safe area”, so what a pity. The reproduction number, however, difficult to control, marked he.
“A removal of the measures can to be called just lead easily to a Sonic reproduction number.” The taxes it could take several weeks to notice the effect.
RKI warns of a second wave
In the case of a premature redemption of all or a large part of the contact-restricting measures the fundamental risk of a second wave, was what a pity said.
The less the person to prevent the Virus by the behavior of jumping from one person to another, the more likely story again. The reproduction number increases again to values between two and three.
“If we do all the more now as if the Problem would be overcome, we will have an outbreak again. This is pretty sure.”
All of them could help to keep the curve flat, stressed what a pity. He did not know how hard it is to keep to the recommendations, and how difficult the Situation is for some people is: “But there is no other way,” emphasized what a pity.
Against the new Coronavirus and the disease Covid-19 so far there is neither a preventive vaccine nor specific drugs.
