The significant factors driving an increase in cases are the easing of anti-coronavirus restrictions last month and the spread of the highly contagious omicron sub-variant BA.2.

Moreover, staff shortages have been reported in hospitals throughout the country this week as a result of a spike in sickness among health professionals who have been exposed to the virus.

According to the German Hospital Federation (DKG), almost 75% of hospitals were unable to sustain their normal level of operations (DKG).

According to the official data, 2,301 people with COVID-19 symptoms were admitted to hospitals on Wednesday.
