A new wave of Covid-19 is gradually descending on Germany, where tens of thousands of cases are detected every day, Toas incidence rates rise continuously.

In Germany, hospitals are saturating again in the face of Covid-19, as incidence rates nationwide reach records never reached during the previous peak of the epidemic. For health specialists, we must act quickly, as nearly 15,000 new cases have been recorded in the space of 24 hours. The situation also worries the population. “I have a bad feeling. It reminds me of the worst moments of the pandemic”, says a woman.

For some residents, it is the number of unvaccinated individuals that is at the origin of this increase in cases. “It’s sad that some do not allow themselves to be vaccinated”, says a passer-by. Only 67% of the population displays a complete vaccination schedule, against 76% in France. In some regions of the country, performing a PCR test is no longer sufficient, as in Hamburg: you must now have taken your vaccines or have proof of being cured of Covid-19 to access a funfair. A decision that shares, but which relaunches vaccination.
