Based on the official data that was shown on Thursday, Germany has recorded 10,999 cases of the novel coronavirus. In a single day, the number of newly reported infections rising by 2,801.

According to Robert Koch Institute (RKI) data, there are twenty people who have died from the viral infection, data from the disease control agency Robert Koch Institute (RKI) showed.

The North Rhine-Westphalia remains the worst-hit state, with 3,033 COVID-19 cases, up 661 from a day ago.

The data were compiled from regional authorities of cases tested for the virus. But it depends on the individual state’s policies. Many other possible cases may not have been tested because they show only mild symptoms or have not been in contact with a known cause.

This made repeated calls for German people to stay at home. The contagion is showing no signs of subsiding authorities that have ordered the school to close and non-essential shops to shut.

Also, the leaders in some bigger cities and regions have warned that they may be forced to take tougher action. Two small Bavarian villages have imposed a lockdown.

On Wednesday, Michael Mueller, Berlin mayor said: “I cannot and will not rule out taking further measures in the coming days.”

He warned, “The question of lockdown can play a role. That can be decided quickly. In that case, the parks and gardens will be closed.”
