Germany's coronavirus reproduction rate jumped to 2.88 on Sunday, up from 1.79 a day earlier, health authorities said, a rate showing infections are rising above the level needed to contain the disease over the longer term.

FRANKFURT - Germany’s coronavirus reproduction rate jumped to 2.88 on Sunday, up from 1.79 a day earlier, health authorities said, a rate showing infections are rising above the level needed to contain the disease over the longer term.

To keep the pandemic under control, Germany needs the reproduction rate to drop below one. The rate of 2.88, published by the Robert Koch Institute for public health, means that out of 100 people who contract the virus, a further 288 people will get infected. In North-Rhine Westphalia, more than 1,300 people working at a slaugterhouse in Guetersloh tested positive for coronavirus, up from 803 infections on Friday.

Outbreaks in recent weeks have occurred in nursing homes, hospitals, institutions for asylum seekers and refugees, in meat processing plants and logistics companies, among seasonal harvest workers and in connection with religious events, RKI said. The spike in infections is mainly related to local outbreaks including in North Rhine-Westphalia, RKI said. North-Rhine Westphalia was one of the regions most vocal about urging Merkel to ease lockdown restrictions.

feel already sorry for east coast of Spain :(

Until there's a vaccine, even nations & regions who have 'crushed the curve' need to remain vigilant, and ready to reinstate lockdowns and other measures.

The modelling predicted a best-case scenario of 50,000 Australian deaths and there's been 104; nearly half attributable to one nursing home and one boat. Mortality rate (Germany) 0.37%. Simple precautions sufficient.

Isolated clusters are NOT indicating rising contagion.

So reuters lied to us... again

Germany's coronavirus reproduction rate jumps to 1.79: RKIThe reproduction rate of the novel coronavirus in Germany has jumped to 1.79 after a raft of localised outbreaks, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for public health said on Saturday, far above the level needed to contain it over the longer term. Fake news It's fine, 90% are asymptomatic. Meaning it literally doesn't affect your life in ANY WAY. Average age of death due to covid is 80 years old. Almost every one of those deaths has comorbidities. That means it is spreading.
