“Sudden increase in cases” is expected by the Robert Koch Institute in Germany because of Omicron mutation of coronavirus and calls on citizens to limit unnecessary contacts and avoid travel.
In particular, the Institute warns: “Due to the ‘Omicron’ variant, a sudden increase in the number of cases is expected and the health system, as well as other areas of care, can quickly become overloaded”, warns the “Robert Koch” Institute, while assessing in Germany as “very high”, broadcasts ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ.
Yesterday, Health Minister Carl Lauterbach explained that due to limited diagnostic tests during the holidays, the actual number of cases is likely to be two or even three times higher than the number announced.
And Greece in high risk countries
Earlier, the Robert Koch Institute updated the lists of dangerous areas, including Italy, Canada, Malta and San Marino in the “high risk areas”. From 1 January, travelers arriving in Germany from these countries, if they do not have a vaccination certificate or intellect, are required to stay in quarantine for ten days, and may undergo a diagnostic test after the fifth day. Greece is currently included in the category of “high risk” areas. On the contrary, Mauritius was removed from the list. The Institute also points out that from January 4, 2022, there will be no special category of countries in which an exacerbation of a variation is observed, as already in Germany, “Omicron” tends to prevail. The number of cases of this variant has increased today by 28% compared to the previous 24 hours.
The pandemic will not be overcome in 2022
Pessimistic about the prospect of a normalization of the situation in relation to the coronavirus pandemic in the new year appear in the vast majority of Germans, who are expressing for 2022 even more cautiously than they expressed a year ago for 2021 .
According to a poll by the YouGov Institute on behalf of the German News Agency (dpa), only 15% of respondents believe that the pandemic will be largely or completely overcome by 2022. On the contrary, 79% believe that the coronavirus will affect at least some part of life in Germany throughout the following year. 34% estimate, however, that there will be a significant reduction in problems.
A year ago, in a similar survey by the same Institute, 26% of respondents said they expected the pandemic to be overcome by 2021, while 66% expected a reduction in difficulties.
