Berlin, Nov 20 : Germany has recorded 22,609 fresh coronavirus cases, taking the tally in the country to 855,916, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said.
The increase is slightly above the previous week’s level.
Germany is currently in the second half of a month-long partial coronavirus lockdown, Xinhua news agency reported.
The situation is “still serious, very serious,” said RKI President Lothar Wieler at a press conference on Thursday. The case numbers are “still very high overall, much too high.” “The case numbers have stabilized at a high level in the last two weeks,” said Wieler.
“But we do not know whether this is already a trend reversal.”
