In the last 24 hours, 74,352 positives and 390 deaths were registered.
Regarding the incidence rate, it reached 442.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants during the last week, with a total of 367,597 cases during the last seven days, according to the Europa Press news agency.
The escalation of infections in Germany occurs with 68.7% of the adult population completely immunized against Covid-19, while 71.6% have at least one dose.
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, announced yesterday a battery of new restrictions to face the spike in infections and stop a possible advance of the Omicron variant.
Those who have not been inoculated will be practically confined by having access to non-essential shops, restaurants, places of worship and entertainment prohibited.
This sector of the population will also not be able to meet with people outside their family nucleus.
It was also confirmed that a draft law on compulsory vaccination will go before Parliament to take effect in February or March, a measure also endorsed by his successor in office, Olaf Scholz.
In addition, the authorities agreed that it is mandatory for children to wear masks in all schools, something that was not in force until now throughout the country.
Despite the federal restrictions announced by Merkel, some states have already announced that they will further toughen the measures.
In the case of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, in the south-west of the country, a negative swab must be presented in restaurants, even if customers are vaccinated or have recovered from the disease.
This measure will take effect on Saturday, when the capacity will also be limited in large gatherings, such as football matches, which can only be attended by 750 people. Lower Saxony, in northwestern Germany, also introduced the “vaccine plus proof” system for almost all areas of public life, as well as more restrictive capacity limitations.
In the case of North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state in Germany, the authorities indicated that they will adhere to the national regulations that will take effect this Saturday.
