The reproduction rate for the coronavirus in Germany remained below the key threshold of 1 according to both the conventional calculation method and a new, less volatile measure, the Robert Koch Institute for disease control said on Thursday.
The daily measure that it has been using - the so-called ‘R’ number - was 0.75, down from 0.81 reported on Wednesday. This figure includes spikes caused by individual hotspots and a rise to over 1 at the weekend as a result of an outbreak of the coronavirus at slaughterhouses in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia that caused alarm. The institute for the first time published a new 7-day figure of 0.88, calculated using a method which it says is a more accurate reflection of the trend. https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-germany-rate/german-coronavirus-reproduction-rate-remains-below-critical-threshold-idUKKBN22Q3AZ HELP US SPREAD GOOD NEWS!
