The virus situation in Germany continues to improve

Germany

The daily case count is back under 10,000 again and reaffirms that the trend is getting better. Total active cases eases a little more to ~126,200 - the lowest since end-October.

However, the death count is still a concern even if it isn't as high as seen at the start of the year. Total deaths have now risen to 67,206 persons.

In terms of healthcare capacity, there were 3,177 (-74) virus patients requiring intensive care as of yesterday with there being 4,578 (17%) intensive care beds still available.
