Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on all unvaccinated Germans to get their shots as quickly as possible as the country’s coronavirus infection rate hits the latest in a string of new highs.
“If we stand together, if we think about protecting ourselves and caring for others, we can save our country a lot this winter,” Merkel said in her weekly podcast.Germany’s disease control center said that the country’s infection rate climbed to 277.4 new cases per 100,000 residents over seven days, up from 263.7 the previous day.
Merkel expressed her concern about the high number of intensive care patients and rising death numbers — especially in regions with low vaccination rates. The booster vaccinations are “a real chance to break the severe fall and winter wave of the pandemic,” Merkel said. Children under the age of 12, who cannot yet get vaccinated in Germany, are among the worst hit group.
