The health authorities in Germany reported a total of 3668 new infections with the coronavirus * to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:30 a.m. A week ago the value was still 2126 infections *. In addition, the RKI reported a total of four new deaths.
The incidence has so far been the basis for many restrictions in the corona pandemic *, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken into account to a greater extent.
Corona in Germany: From Monday, partially expanded 3G rules
From this Monday, partially expanded “3G” rules will apply in Germany: access to restaurants, hairdressers, clinics, swimming pools and other indoor areas is only given to those who have been vaccinated, who have recovered or who have tested negative when there is a high infection rate. New rules will also apply in Bavaria from Monday. “The pandemic is not over,” warned Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU).
Despite the threat of restrictions for people without a corona vaccination * in everyday life, vaccination centers and medical practices in Germany are currently not seeing a general trend towards more vaccinations. There should be new momentum in many places through special measures.
Corona vaccinations: doctor’s president calls for “creative ideas”

Targeted campaigns for the younger generation are to take place in around 50 locations – for example at vocational schools, youth centers, city centers and sports fields.
Medical president Klaus Reinhardt suggested in the newspapers of the Funke media group : “We should also get sports clubs, cultural associations and the various religious institutions on board for the vaccination campaign.” Sufficient vaccine, personnel and logistics are available. “Now creative ideas are needed,” continues Reinhardt.
