Germany says coronavirus cases top 1000
A significant milestone!
Yes, you're correct. According to reports, Germany has officially surpassed 1,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
As of March 2, 2020, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Germany's national public health institute, reported 1,029 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country. This number includes both laboratory-confirmed cases and cases that have been reported by health authorities.
Germany has been taking measures to contain the spread of the virus, including increasing testing capacity, implementing travel restrictions, and closing non-essential businesses. The country has also seen a significant increase in hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions due to COVID-19.
It's worth noting that the number of cases in Germany is still relatively low compared to other countries, such as Italy, which has reported over 10,000 cases. However, the rapid spread of the virus globally and the increasing number of cases in Germany are causing concerns about the potential impact on the country's healthcare system and economy.
