The head of Germany's disease control agency cast doubt on whether new government restrictions to fight COVID19 would be enough to break a vicious fourth wave of the pandemic.
The head of Germany's disease control agency on Friday cast doubt on whether new government restrictions to fight coronavirus would be enough to break a vicious fourth wave of the pandemic.
As cases have topped 300 per 100,000 people, the rules for public spaces "are no longer enough in the current situation," he said, calling it an "absolute emergency".Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leaders of Germany's 16 states agreed Thursday to shut the unvaccinated out of restaurants, sporting events and cultural shows after new cases soared to an all-time daily high of more than 65,000.
After a strong push in the spring, Germany's inoculation rate stagnated over the summer to hover at just under 70 percent.
