Germany, like other European countries such as Spain, Italy and France, has a high number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus.
Germany has 100,123 confirmed cases of the virus and has recorded 1,584 deaths from the virus
Germany has been lauded for appearing to be on top of its coronavirus epidemic, and there are reasons to be hopeful; theBut Germany's public health body, the Richard Koch Institute for infectious diseases, is cautious, telling CNBC that the country's comparatively low mortality rate should not be taken as a measure of the country's success in combating the virus just yet.
The RKI's recommendation of early widespread testing to detect cases and slow the spread of the outbreak has been widely seen as a factor that has helped Germany to keep its death toll low. Germany is estimated to be conducting around 500,000 tests a week, far more than countries like the U.K. where the lack of national testing, and a small testing regime for health workers, has been called a fiasco.
As with most other European countries, Germany has gone into lockdown, advising the public to stay at home and closing all but the most essential businesses, allowing only food stores and pharmacies to remain open. The measures are expected to remain in place at least until April 19.Global fatality rates from the coronavirus are an imprecise science, it must be stressed, and making comparisons between nations is not actually that helpful.
