The health authorities in Germany were reported to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on early Friday morning, re-1147 new Corona infections within a day.
The number of new infections in Germany has reached the highest value since the beginning of may.
Already on Thursday, the new infections were 1045 Corona-cases, for the first time over the threshold of 1000.
Federal health Minster Jens Spahn had appealed then again to the citizens, the hygiene rules to be complied with.
However, the health care for the approaching second Corona is ready-really?
Spahn healthcare looks to be well-prepared
Spahn has made following the recent increase in the Corona cases clear that he sees currently exceeded a critical threshold.
“At the Moment we are, in each case, in a size order, with the health care and the public health service deal with it,” said the CDU politician on Thursday in the ZDF”heute Journal”.
“If we can stabilize us now, on a certain level, then we can deal with it. If the Numbers continue to rise, then it’s up to us all to pay attention in everyday life to each other and to not make further measures necessary.”

The threshold of 1000 new Corona cases was last updated on August 7. May have been exceeded. After that, the number was decreased in tendency, since the end of July, the values rise again. The peak in new infections was achieved in early April with more than 6000.
The high case numbers again to the Lockdown?
On the question of when a kind of Lockdown would be necessary to underscore Spahn the line, in the case of the cases, especially on regional measures.
He stressed that there is “a number, on which everything can be reduced”.
“It is the increase in factor – how much the dynamic of the infection is going to happen? It is the absolute number of infections. With the 1000 new infections per day, the health care system can handle.”
Mask duty is the A and O
SPD-Secretary-General Lars Klingbeil called for a stricter crackdown against people who violate the mask duty.
“Those who threaten lightly, not at a distance, and the mask of duty to ignore, so that the children go back to school and jobs can be saved”, he is the editor-in network in Germany (RND, Friday).
“This is inconsiderate and irresponsible. However, we must speak.”
He expects, for example, of Deutsche Bahn, that she sets the mask duty on their trains consistently. Several States have recently announced to tighten their gait against the mask objectors.
With a view to the increased Numbers Klingbeil warned: “If we are not careful, are at risk the successes of the past months in the fight against Corona.”
All would have to maintain a mask of duty and clearance rules. “It is not in the interest of all, that Germany will slip into a second wave.”
“We may be lulled into a false sense of security.”
The Chairman of the Federal Association of the Physicians of the Public health service, Ute Teichert said in the ZDF-show “Dunja Hayali” on Thursday evening, so far, Germany had managed the crisis well.
“I believe, however, that we may be lulled into a false sense of security at the Moment is that we have simply lost track of time a little and missed.”
She added: “for All have believed, until, in the autumn – now we are in August, and the Numbers go up.”
The Left-Chairman Katja Kipping said in the broadcast is critical to the German Corona-policy: “I think we have to be eased quickly,” she said.
Intensive care units are prepared
The Bonn virologist Hendrik Streeck, however, was not alarmed by the number of more than 1000 new infections a day. “Currently, we have no substantial increase in serious corona cases recorded in the intensive care units, although for well over a week, the infection numbers have risen,” he said of the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” (Friday).
Streeck argued, “sovereign” with the Virus deal.
“We must not fall with any increase in infection numbers in a panic.” The Virus will remain. “The goal is and was to overload the health system, and that everyone gets the best possible care. This is a realistic goal.”
