Over the last 28 days, Germany has had the second-highest number of new Covid-19 cases in the world after the United States. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the country recorded more than 1.3 million positive tests in the last four weeks and 6,222 deaths from the virus.

Thursday saw 73,209 new cases of the coronavirus in Germany, bringing case incidence up to 439 per 100,000 people, according to the Robert Koch Institute. Last week, a record 79,051 positive tests were reported in a single day.

Meanwhile, 321 people were admitted to Germany’s intensive care units with Covid-19 on Thursday, with 21% of hospital beds occupied by Covid patients.

Both Germany’s DAX index and the pan-European Stoxx 600 index were trading slightly lower on Friday morning following the news that part of the country’s population would be excluded from engaging fully in the economy.

Vaccine mandate looming?

Lars Klingbeil, secretary general of Germany’s SPD party, told broadcaster ZDF on Friday that if the new measures did not lower case rates sufficiently, politicians would have to take “immediate action.”

Outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday that legislation would be drafted to make Covid vaccination mandatory in Germany, adding that lawmakers would vote on the issue by February. Her successor, Olaf Scholz, said he expected the proposal to be approved, and is reported to personally support introducing a vaccine mandate.
