The 7-day incidence rate is seen at 65.4

Germany

The improvement in the virus situation in Germany points towards a plateau for the time being, with total active cases seen at ~119,000 - little changed in the past week.

The 7-day incidence rate is still on the higher side and that is one to take note of in case it starts to impede with easing of lockdown measures, although the reading varies dramatically across different states/regions across the country.

Despite the recent improvement, medical capacity remains rather stretched for the time being as there were 2,813 (-10) virus patients requiring intensive care as of yesterday with there being just 3,736 (15%) intensive care beds still available.
