The daily tally of new confirmed coronavirus cases in Germany leapt by almost half, official data showed Thursday, a day after ministers agreed on emergency measures to tamp down on domestic tourism to try to contain the second wave.
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases increased by 4,058 to 310,144, a rate not seen since April, lending weight to officials' warnings that Germany is headed down the path of its neighbours if citizens don't adhere to rigid social distancing.
"The number of new infections has gone over 4,000," tweeted senior conservative legislator Norbert Roettgen, a candidate to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel. "It has almost doubled and is once again in the field of exponential growth... Everyone must do what they can to stop it from getting out of control again."
