Germany has
posted a massive spike in COVID cases, with more than 6 and a half thousand new
infections in a 24-hour period. The country was at 2,828 new cases last
Wednesday, October 8th. The numbers then kept rising to 6,638 newly
registered COVID-19 infections. With numbers more than doubling in one week, it
means the virus is growing exponentially. The figures come just hours after
Chancellor Angela Merkel met with the leaders of Germany's 16 federal states to
agree new measures to slow the spread of the virus. Poland is also expected to
announce new restrictions after registering a record of nearly 9,000 new cases
today. The country managed to keep the number of infections low at the start of
the pandemic. But as DW's Alexandra von Nahmen reports, the government is now
facing criticism for failing to prepare the country for a second wave.
