Germany’s infection rate continues to go down, health officials said on Friday. Ten people who carry the virus now pass it on to only seven new people.
In early March, those 10 people would have infected 30 new people, in early April, they would pass the virus to 13 people.
According to the official numbers, there have been 3,380 new positive tests in the past 24 hours, taking the total to 133,830.
More than half of those have already recovered though. The number of deaths linked to Covid-19 rose by just under 300 to 3,868.
The country’s relative success in dealing with the virus is mainly attributed to its widespread testing from early on.
