A student of a graduating class is vaccinated at the vaccination center at Messe Munich, Germany, Monday, July 12, 2021. BERLIN: With COVID-19 cases again on the rise, German officials said on Monday said that authorities need a “broader focus” beyond the country’s infection rate to fully gauge the impact the pandemic is having on the health system and the kind of measures that should be taken.
“Because the at-risk groups are vaccinated, a high incidence doesn't automatically mean an equally high burden on intensive care beds,” Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Twitter. “The incidence is increasingly losing significance, we now need more detailed information on the situation in clinics.” Germany’s disease control agency said last week that the country should aim to vaccinate 85 per cent of people ages 12 to 59 and 90 per cent of people above 60 to prevent the Delta variant causing a strong resurgence of coronavirus cases this autumn and winter.
