Germany Covid Cases

German lawmakers are due to debate introducing a bill making vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory. The idea is facing resistance from politicians as well as ordinary Germans.

Germany on Monday extended its current pandemic measures as the experts panel appointed by the government has warned the fast spreading Omicron coronavirus variant could bring critical infrastructure in Europe's biggest economy to a breaking point.

The World Health Organization has warned that the Covid-19 pandemic is far from over, as France, Germany and Brazil posted new records of infections in the past 24 hours.

Germany has registered more than 100,000 new Covid-19 infections in the past 24 hours, according to data released by the country's public health agency on Wednesday.

Four Bayern Munich players including captain Manuel Neuer, as well as a coach have tested positive for COVID-19, the Bundesliga champions said.

Germany will impose sweeping curbs on people not vaccinated against Covid-19 to combat the latest surge in cases, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday after meeting regional leaders.

Germany reported the highest number of deaths from coronavirus since mid-February on Wednesday as hospitals warned that the country could have 6,000 people in intensive care by Christmas, above the peak of last winter.

Britain, Germany and Italy detected cases of the new 'Omicron' coronavirus variant on Saturday and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new steps to contain the virus, while more nations imposed restrictions on travel from southern Africa.

Amid concerns over the new Covid strain and record cases in the country, the German air force will, for the first time in the pandemic, fly severely ill COVID-19 patients to other parts of the country to unburden struggling hospitals.

Most Germans will be "vaccinated, cured or dead" from Covid in a few months' time, Health Minister Jens Spahn warned Monday, urging more citizens to get jabbed.

Germany's coronavirus situation is dramatic, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday, calling for a push to distribute booster shots faster and appealing to those sceptical of vaccination to change their minds.

Germany registered a record 50,196 new Covid-19 infections Thursday, according to health authorities. Outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel has described the rise in infections as "dramatic".

Germany on Thursday saw its biggest daily rise in Covid-19 cases since the pandemic began, figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) health agency showed.

Germany is experiencing a "massive" pandemic of the unvaccinated, Health Minister Jens Spahn said Wednesday, calling for tougher action to tame a resurgence in Covid cases.

More than half the population of Germany is now fully vaccinated, Health Minister Jens Spahn said Wednesday, hailing "another milestone" in Europe's biggest economy's inoculation drive.
