On Friday, Health authorities from Germany said that Coronavirus infection numbers are rising at a high rate as highly contagious variants drive up case numbers in the EU's biggest country. Here it is to be noted that as per report on Friday reported 17,482 new infections in the previous 24 hours and 226 deaths in Germany, with the seven-day incidence rate soaring to 96 per 100,000 people despite a months-long shutdown of large swaths of public life.
In the wake of this spreading infection the vice president of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases, Lars Schaade, told reporters that "It is very possible that we will have a similar situation over Easter to the one we had before Christmas, with very high case numbers, many severe cases and deaths, and hospitals that are overwhelmed,". Here it is to be noted that the grim news came as Germany resumed administering AstraZeneca's Covid-19 jabs after the European regulator EMA assessed it was "safe and effective" to use.
For your information let us share that earlier there was complaint rise about AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine that it may cause blood clotting problem. Doctors will now have to inform patients about the possible blood clotting risk before giving them the jabs. Critics had complained that the decision to halt use of AstraZeneca's vaccine over the last days only served to fuel mistrust over the jabs and further delay Germany's inoculation programme.
