Taxa de infeção na Alemanha aumenta

By Duncan Mil

May 12, 2020 - A taxa de reprodução do coronavírus na Alemanha permaneceu acima
de um pelo terceiro dia consecutivo depois de baixar para 0,83 na
sexta-feira. O aumento segue-se a um alívio das medidas de confinamento.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for disease control said in a daily bulletin that the reproduction rate, or R -- which represents the number of people each sick person can infect -- had risen to 1.07 on Monday. This number indicates that 100 people with Covid-19 on average will spread the disease to 107 others, possibly signalling a second wave of the pandemic.

The RKI said that Monday’s rate is down slightly from 1.13 the day before, 0.83 on Friday and 1.10 on Saturday.

On May 6 Chancellor Angela Merkel announced easing lockdown restrictions, including more shop openings and a gradual return to school.

Speaking on Monday in Berlin, Merkel said that although Germany was entering a “new phase” with its COVID-19 response, “it’s important that with all of the loosening of the measures that we have certainty that people are keeping to basic rules.”

The Johns Hopkins University tally reported the number of new coronavirus cases had increased by a daily 667 to 172,576 on Tuesday morning, while the daily death toll had risen to 7,661.
