Berlin : In Germany, cases of corono virus infection are steadily increasing. Health Minister Jens Sphen has said that the country's health system can go beyond its capabilities in April. The head of the public health body has even expressed apprehension that one lakh cases of corona may be reported every month next month. He says that the third wave of corona that has hit the country may prove to be more deadly than the first two waves. This can be difficult to stop. He has attributed this to the B117 variants found in many places.

According to the German newspaper DW, Lothar Weiler, the head of the Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Disease, and Health Minister Jens Spahn, said these things during a press conference. Weiler said that after growing cases in the country, it became clear that Germany was experiencing a third wave of Corona, which could be more dangerous than before. During this time, he has appealed to the people to keep distance from each other and take precaution. Significantly, in Germany, the first dose of Corona vaccine has been given to about 10 percent of the population so far. Sphen says that in the coming days the number of corona patients in hospitals may increase. This can increase the burden on the health services of the country.

He has said that the pace with which Corona cases are increasing in Germany is likely to worsen the situation. He even went so far as to state that these records could be revealed in April. According to Sphen, the Kovid-19 test of passengers has been postponed for the time being. But passengers traveling by air from Tuesday will be required to show their Corona Negative Report before boarding the aircraft. He has also said that there has been no significant difference in the speed of corona infection from the passengers coming from outside.

The Health Minister has said that he has no doubt that the precautions that are being said will greatly affect the pace of infection. Nor are they going to be a game changer. Despite this, these are very dangerous situations and the pace of infection is accelerating in Germany. During the press conference, Weiler said that if necessary measures are not adopted, one lakh cases can come up every day. In Germany, 4 thousand new cases have been reported in a week.
