Friday, 19 November 2021 (YJC)_ The rise in the number of people infected with the Corona virus in Germany has prompted the German government to declare a national emergency again.

Severe increase in cases of corona disease in Germany; Berlin declared a national emergencyThe German Minister of Health announced on Friday that he has declared a national emergency due to the sharp increase in the number of cases of the Corona virus in this country.

The daily death toll from the coronavirus in Germany has risen the most in more than five months in recent weeks, and lawmakers are debating how to curb the fourth wave of the epidemic.

According to Bloomberg, with less than 70 percent complete vaccination against the disease, Europe's largest economy lags behind its Western counterparts such as Spain, Italy and Portugal, causing Germany to face a new wave of outbreaks. The daily incidence rate in Germany is breaking records set last winter, when the population of this European country was largely defenseless against the corona.

The Robert Koch Institute in Germany reported another increase in the incidence rate across the country last Tuesday. Cases reached a record 312.4 per 100,000 people in the last seven days.

Germany, meanwhile, has said it intends to force quarantined people who have not been vaccinated and not allow them to travel.
