The 'Monday effect' kicks in again
Typically, Monday tends to see a lower case count due to the weekend and lesser testing in the past 24 hours - a similar trend observed on 9 November and 2 November (⬆).
After going two weeks with 'lockdown light', the situation across Germany still calls for much caution as local authorities have to be mindful so as to not overburden healthcare capacity across the country in the coming weeks/months.
Merkel will be meeting with state leaders once again today and there is word of tighter restrictions possibly being introduced to at least try and flatten the curve before the end of the month, when 'lockdown light' is set to expire.
However, should the virus situation remain as it is, it may be tough to envision that there will be more relaxed measures in Germany - and most of Europe - for the time being.
