The latest developments
The number of new infections reported daily in Germany has exceeded the 100,000 mark for the first time. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported 112,323 new infections on Wednesday (January 19). 239 people died within 24 hours with or from the virus. The day before there were 74,405 new infections and 193 deaths. The seven-day incidence has risen to a new record for the sixth straight day – from 553.2 the previous day to 584.4. In Germany, more than 8.1 million people have been infected with the corona virus since the beginning of the pandemic, and 116,081 people have died. Because of the omicron variant, the RKI has tightened its risk assessment: For those who have been vaccinated twice and those who have recovered, the risk of infection is now considered “high”. It remains “very high” for unvaccinated people, and “moderate” for vaccinated people with booster vaccinations.
«If we want to make an application that is still effective, then it is an application that makes vaccination compulsory sets in April or around April, maybe in May,” said the SPD politician on Tuesday evening (January 19) on RTL television. There must still be enough time to immunize unvaccinated people before a possible further corona wave in autumn, he explained. Thuringia is postponing the introduction of the 2-G-plus rule in bars, restaurants and cafés. It will not apply nationwide from January 23 as planned, but only in hotspot regions as before, said a spokesman for the state government on Tuesday (January 18) in Erfurt. A new regulation, which also regulates 2-G-plus, should only be decided in 14 days. As justification, the spokesman said that the current regulation, which only provides for the 2-G-plus rule in regions with a high incidence, is effective. Actually, the federal and state decision on gastronomy should be implemented in Thuringia at the end of this week.

Daily reported new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week
The reason for the increase in Corona cases is the new Omicron variant; in Germany it is being detected more and more frequently. Omicron is significantly more infectious than Delta, but causes Rarely severe courses .
Most new corona infections are now in the northern states of Schleswig-Holstein and Bremen, where omicron first spread, possibly via Denmark. In Bremen, Omicron was already the dominant variant over Christmas.

This is how the number of operable¹ intensive care beds has developed:
The number of daily reported deaths related to Covid-19 is also decreasing. Here, too, there is a time lag: In the case of a fatal course, there is an average of 18 days between the onset of symptoms and death.
Fewer deaths than before a year
7-day average of daily reported deaths related to Covid-19
Because of the low willingness to vaccinate among unvaccinated adults, there were hardly any first vaccinations from the end of the summer, but recently the number has increased slightly again. With the booster vaccinations Germany lagged behind compared to other countries , but has meanwhile been able to gain ground.
For the first time more booster than initial vaccinations

Where do which corona measures apply?
The federal and state governments decided at the end of December to further tighten the corona measures. Private meetings are only allowed with a maximum of ten people, children under the age of 14 are not counted. Clubs and discos had to close again. Major national events can only take place without spectators.
Vaccination compulsory for people who work in the medical field. You must provide proof of vaccination protection by mid-March 2022.
The so-called 2G model, which grants vaccinated and recovered people more rights than unvaccinated people, is being implemented throughout Germany. In many federal states, the 2G plus rule also applies to gastronomy. In addition to vaccination protection, guests must present a current rapid test there. Anyone who has already received a booster vaccination does not have to submit a test certificate.
In addition to these measures, the German Bundestag has approved the introduction of a 3-G rule in the workplace and in Local and long-distance buses and trains introduced. For workplace controls, the employer should be given the authority to inquire about the vaccination, convalescence or test status. In public transport, the staff is required to check the evidence. The obligation to wear a mouth and nose cover still applies in buses, trains and retail.
The Corona measures in the courseThe Oxford Stringency Index shows how strict the restrictions are in Germany
Doubly vaccinated is who has received all scheduled doses of an approved vaccine plus at least 14 days must have passed since the last dose. For those who have previously recovered from Covid disease, just one dose can suffice.
People who have been shown to have contracted Covid-19. The PCR result of the infection must be at least 28 days old and is valid for a maximum of three months. For both those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered, the relief only applies to them if they have no acute symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing or fever.
The mask requirement also applies to German train stations.

What is the situation at the borders?
How is the German economy reacting?
The German economy is in 2020 as a result of the corona pandemicin a severe recession. Measured against the gross domestic product (GDP), according to the Federal Statistical Office, economic output fell in price-adjusted terms 4.6 percent. The slump was thus somewhat less severe than in 2009, when GDP fell by 5.7 percent as a result of the financial and economic crisis. The course of the year 2020 resembled a mountain and -Descent: In the second quarter, GDP fell by 10 percent quarter-on-quarter as a result of the first lockdown, which paralyzed parts of economic life and was also accompanied by disruptions to international supply chains and a drop in export demand. After the gradual easing of many restrictions from the end of April, a recovery began in many sectors, so that GDP increased again by 9 percent in the third quarter. Economic output is increasing again
Development of GDP (price, seasonally and calendar adjusted, 2015=100)
The second lockdown from November 2020 hit the economy less severely and unprepared than the first, which is why GDP in the final quarter is still around 0.7 percent increased. In the first quarter of 2021, however, there was a decline of 2 percent compared to the previous quarter.
After that put a new one recovery on. In the third quarter of 2021, the GDP is according to the Federal Statistical Office increased by 1.7 percent compared to the previous quarter. However, the upturn will not be as rapid as hoped for in the spring, as it is currently being driven by Delivery bottlenecks and high energy prices is braked. The fourth and fifth corona waves are also likely to bring new setbacks to some sectors. The published at the end of October Autumn projection of the federal government represented real GDP growth of 2.6 percent in 2021 and 4.1 percent in 2022 in prospect. An egg Ifo forecast published in December -Instituts was a bit more pessimistic for 2022: The institute has its GDP forecast for the current year 3.7 percent and that for 2023 increased to 2.9 percent because the initially expected strong recovery for 2022 would be pushed back due to the fourth corona wave and the ongoing supply bottlenecks.

The rate in 2020 rose from 5.1 percent in March to 6.4 percent in August in the wake of the Corona crisis gone up.

Auch die Zahl der Corona-Patienten in Intensivbehandlung nahm im November stark zu, allerdings nicht in allen Regionen gleichermassen. Seit Anfang Dezember hat sich der Anstieg abgeschwächt. Bei schweren Verläufen vergehen im Mittel fünf Tage zwischen Krankheitsbeginn und Aufnahme auf der Intensivstation. Die Zahlen in der Grafik enthalten auch positiv getestete Personen, die nicht in erster Linie wegen ihrer Covid-Erkrankung behandelt werden.

Where do which corona measures apply?
The federal and state governments decided at the end of December to further tighten the corona measures. Private meetings are only allowed with a maximum of ten people, children under the age of 14 are not counted. Clubs and discos had to close again. Major national events can only take place without spectators.
Vaccination compulsory for people who work in the medical field. You must provide proof of vaccination protection by mid-March 2022.
The so-called 2G model, which grants vaccinated and recovered people more rights than unvaccinated people, is being implemented throughout Germany. In many federal states, the 2G plus rule also applies to gastronomy. In addition to vaccination protection, guests must present a current rapid test there. Anyone who has already received a booster vaccination does not have to submit a test certificate.
In addition to these measures, the German Bundestag has approved the introduction of a 3-G rule in the workplace and in Local and long-distance buses and trains introduced. For workplace controls, the employer should be given the authority to inquire about the vaccination, convalescence or test status. In public transport, the staff is required to check the evidence. The obligation to wear a mouth and nose cover still applies in buses, trains and retail.
The Oxford Stringency Index shows how strict the restrictions are in Germany
Doubly vaccinated is who has received all scheduled doses of an approved vaccine plus at least 14 days must have passed since the last dose. For those who have previously recovered from Covid disease, just one dose can suffice.
People who have been shown to have contracted Covid-19. The PCR result of the infection must be at least 28 days old and is valid for a maximum of three months. For both those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered, the relief only applies to them if they have no acute symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing or fever.
The mask requirement also applies to German train stations.

How is the German economy reacting?
Economic output is increasing again
Development of GDP (price, seasonally and calendar adjusted, 2015=100)

The published at the end of October Autumn projection of the federal government represented real GDP growth of 2.6 percent in 2021 and 4.1 percent in 2022 in prospect. An egg Ifo forecast published in December -Instituts was a bit more pessimistic for 2022: The institute has its GDP forecast for the current year 3.7 percent and that for 2023 increased to 2.9 percent because the initially expected strong recovery for 2022 would be pushed back due to the fourth corona wave and the ongoing supply bottlenecks.
