The director of the Robert Koch Institute for Viruses of the German Ministry of Health, Lothar Vellier, warned that the world will face the second and third waves of the emerging Corona Virus pandemic.
“We almost certainly know that there will be a second wave,” Vellier said at a press conference on Tuesday. I am starting from the fact that we will face a second and third wave of the spread of infection, and this is confirmed by experts. ”
The director of the institute in Berlin, which represents the official body concerned with following the pandemic in Germany, stressed that the health system in his country is well prepared for new waves of outbreak, and said: “A lot has been done here for that, and doctors now know how to deal with infected patients, and we will have Better remedies. ”
Vellier stressed that the German medical authorities intend to expand the scope of tests for the new Corona virus emerging in the country, indicating that it is possible that this number per day reaches 142 thousand in 132 laboratories.
Germany has so far carried out about 2.4 million examinations that revealed 16,699 confirmed infections with the newly borne “COVID-19” virus infection, including 6,993 deaths.
And the World Health Organization has previously confirmed that the emerging corona virus will remain among human society “for a long time”, considering that a second wave of the pandemic will at least hit the world because there is no vaccine ready against the disease so far.
