In the past 48 hours, the number of Coronavirus cases in Germany has been growing by more than 1,000 per day again. But Professor Christian Drosten, one of the leading virologists in Germany, expresses cautious optimism. In a podcast published by NDR Radio, he said he was worried about the fall and winter though.
Germany's coronavirus spread appears to be picking up speed again, official data showed Sunday, just days after Chancellor Angela Merkel said the country could gradually return to normal.
The Robert Koch Institute for public health said Germany's closely watched reproduction rate (R0) had climbed to 1.1, meaning 10 people with COVID-19 infect on average 11 others.
The RKI has warned that for the infection rate to be deemed under control and slowing down, R0 has to stay below one.
As recently as Wednesday, Germany's number stood at 0.65.
But since then the country has reported clusters of new cases at slaughterhouses and at care homes for the elderly.
The RKI cautioned that it was too soon to draw conclusions but said the number of new infections "would need to be watched very closely in the coming days".
