If you suspect you or someone else has the coronavirus, you can call the following numbers and find out what steps to take next:
Germany has initiated a series of measures to slow down the spread of the virus and alleviate its effects on the economy. Find out more here:
The following measures are especially important for slowing down the spread of the virus:
Social distancing is crucial. This means: if you can, stay at home. Above all, events involving large numbers of people should be avoided. When it comes to interaction with older people, as little contact as possible is also best however hard that may be. They are especially vulnerable.
According to our current state of knowledge, the first patients presented symptoms of a respiratory infection caused by a new kind of coronavirus in Wuhan, a city in China with 11 million inhabitants. Its exact origin is unclear; many of the early cases involved people who worked at a market in Wuhan. However, the initial infection could have occurred at another location.
SARS-CoV-2 is the correct designation for what is often known simply as coronavirus. SARS is the acronym for severe acute respiratory syndrome.The virus causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a lung disease for which there is currently no vaccine. The infection is spread by human-to-human transmission.
Numbers are increasing dramatically. You will find the respective totals for Germany and the world on the website of the Robert Koch Institute.
Companies and research institutes in Germany are working at full steam to gain a better understanding of the virus and find a vaccine. Important actors in this field include the Robert Koch Institute and several German biotech enterprises, such as CureVac in Tbingen.
"Stay home!" is the motto during the Corona crisis. We put together lots of good ideas to discover Germany from home.
Imagine it is April 12, 2021 what does our world look like? How have our society, economy and politics changed as a result of the corona crisis? In our new series "Our world after corona" we talk to renowned researchers about our future after the corona pandemic. None of them have a crystal ball, but they do have some very concrete ideas about how corona will change us all.
Shes a globally renowned scientist and Covid-19 vaccine developer, yet Kizzmekia S. Corbett, Ph.D., modestly describes herself as a little ole girl from a small North Carolina town. Growing up, she saw firsthand the health challenges and disparities that proliferated in the Black community.
I am from the rural South where ailments such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes plague communities like my own, and actually plague my family to some extent, said Corbett, the keynote speaker at a Black History Month breakfast hosted by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Rep. Anthony Brown (D-MD) over the weekend. The theme of the 41st annual event was Black Health and Wellness.
I have grown to become invested in the health and wellness of all people, she told the virtual audience of several hundred people. But especially those who are oftentimes excluded from access and opportunities that afford them equal health and also at the end of the day, equal wealth.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic that has left 900,000 dead in the U.S. alone, Corbett has emerged as a leading voice in vaccine development research and health equity.
She was instrumental in groundbreaking research that directly led to development of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine, after spending more than six years as a research fellow at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Vaccine Research Center. It is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Last June, Corbett joined the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, as an assistant professor in the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases. She heads Harvards new Coronaviruses & Other Relevant Emerging Infectious Diseases (CoreID) Lab. Its scientists study and seek to understand the interface between hosts immune systems and viruses that cause respiratory disease, with the goal of informing development of novel and potentially universal vaccines.
People always ask me: `Why vaccines? Why vaccines?, she told the virtual audience. They are oftentimes controversial, but at the end of the day taking all of the controversy aside, the one thing that remains is that vaccines happen to be the most life-saving way to prevent disease in this world.
Still, shes well aware that due to ideological differences, misinformation and partisan rancor theres often been vocal disagreement with that assessment.
Ive been in a bubble since 16 years old, trying to become a vaccine developer. I had been at science labs, I had been at prestigious universities, I had been at the most prestigious vaccine research center in the world. So I hadnt necessarily understood what it meant [for others] to mistrust medicine in the way I was faced with it, when it was my turn for my medicine to start to save lives.
Many of the people who were being disproportionately killed by this virus were unfortunately refusing to take the vaccine that I had made, she added.
As a young, Black woman scientist, Corbett has used her platform to address vaccine hesitancy, or as she has termed it, vaccine inquisitiveness, especially in the Black community. Shes sought to reassure skeptics of its safety and efficacy by speaking virtually at churches and various community organizations.
I expanded beyond being a Harvard professor to being the community vaccine teacher, she told the audience. Ive become an expert in empathy as much as an expert in immunobiology. And in the same breath that I was a vaccine inventor, I oftentimes served as the vaccines cheerleader.
Her efforts have earned praise from everyone from President Joe Biden to NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci. In her introduction of Corbett at the event, Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL), a nurse who co-founded and co-chairs the Black Maternal Health Caucus also lauded her journey.
Corbett matriculated at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where as an undergraduate she was part of the prestigious Meyerhoff Scholars Program and a NIH scholar. After earning a BS in biological sciences, with a secondary major in sociology, she went on to obtain her Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Dr. Corbett's research and contributions have undoubtedly saved countless lives thousands, perhaps millions, and alleviated untold suffering, Rep. Hoyer said at the gathering, which in previous years has drawn such luminaries as Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and the late John Lewis, to name a few.
Yet as we wade through a river, hope has stirred our hearts. Successful development and deployment of safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines last year breathed new life into our fight against this virus, he continued. The groundbreaking medical advances of mRNA vaccines expanded the boundaries of our scientific knowledge while helping to curb the spread and severity of the disease worldwide. Thank you, Dr. Corbett, and all those with whom you work.
I was very much mostly a Black woman with a mission and a duty, said Corbett of her efforts, which are ongoing. Because people are going to continue to have to hear about the science, about the new technology, and were going to have to continue to have the conversations. All the actions that we took in this moment, are going to have to continue to be tangible beyond this moment.
MILWAUKEE Three members of the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) are being investigated for allegedly creating and using fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination records to attend out of state training.
The I-Team learned of the allegations in December when the Inspector General confirmed it was investigating.
Three individuals will be disciplined, the Inspector General said.
Two months ago when the I-Team began its investigation, the Inspector General confirmed it was looking into the matter.
My office is currently investigating allegations that a Milwaukee Police Lieutenant erroneously created two COVID Vaccination Record Cards for two members, a detective and officer, in order for them to attend a training provided by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC).
As of 2021, the Milwaukee Police Department had a directive in place regarding travel for vaccinated and unvaccinated members.
TMJ4 News
The first memo, dated March 8, 2021, Chief Jeffrey Norman stated, Effective immediately, department members will be required to show proof that they received the appropriate dose(s) of the COVID-19 vaccine with their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card for non-emergency work related travel and travel training requests.
It continued, Members who elect not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or do not receive the appropriate dose(s) of the COVID-19 vaccine will be considered for non-emergency work related travel on a case by case basis by the Executive Command Staff. Members who elect not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or do not receive the appropriate dose(s) of the COVID-19 vaccine will only be considered for travel training requests if the training is required to maintain national or state recognized certification in an area that directly relates to their current job responsibilities.
The I-Team acquired documents showing the Lieutenant in question approved travel to a Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, Ga. for the detective and officer in question on May 21; more than two months after the internal Chiefs Directive. For both members, the Lieutenant wrote, Member is in compliance with Chiefs directive.
TMJ4 News is not naming the law enforcement individuals involved as the investigation is ongoing and no discipline or charges have been filed for their alleged actions.
While there is a stipulation allowing for unvaccinated members to attend trainings, FLETC provided a statement to the I-Team, saying, All students who attend FLETC training programs must attest to their vaccination status at the time of registration. FLETC takes seriously all allegations of misconduct involving our staff, students and training programs. To ensure program integrity, our Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is available to assist state, local and tribal agencies with investigations involving their personnel at FLETC.
The I-Team confirmed with MPD about an internal review of the incident. While MPD would not provide specific comments on the situation, it provided a statement saying, The Milwaukee Police Department holds all of our members to the highest level of integrity. Any member that violates the code of conduct will be held accountable. This internal investigation remains under review.
All three members are working in their full capacity, until there is a conclusion to the investigation.
There have been other cases across the country of Law Enforcement members being suspended, resigning or losing their jobs for similar accusations of falsifying COVID-19 vaccination records.
While the matter is still under review, it is unclear what kind of discipline the members could face internally. However, it is possible it could go beyond the scope of discipline MPD or the Fire and Police Commission could file. The U.S. Attorneys Office tells the I-Team, creating a fake or fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination card could violate a variety of federal laws. For example, it is a felony punishable up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 to fraudulently or wrongfully attach the seal of a department or agency of the United States (including the CDC) to any certificate or document or to use, buy, procure, sell, or transfer such a document with fraudulent or wrongful intent. The same penalties would apply if someone knowingly used or made a materially false document in connect with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits or services. In addition, it is a crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison for someone to produce fake or fraudulent identification documents purporting to have been issued by or under the authority of the United States government.

So far, so many celebrities have received the COVID-19 vaccine to help the pandemic come to an end and keep everyone safe against the deadly virus.
However, at the time of this posting, numerous celebrities have revealed they have no intention of getting the vaccine at this time. Their choice is their own, and some provided reasoning as to why.
The vaccine is recommended by public health officials and have very little side effects in studies. With the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, public health officials are urging vaccination (and boosters) more than ever. Any statements made by these celebrities are their own and are not endorsements by Just Jared. You can learn more about the vaccine safety at the CDCs website.

Dr. Taubenberger predicts better evidence will emerge. He and John Oxford, emeritus professor of virology at the University of London, have been looking for flu or coronavirus in old lung tissue from patients who were ill with a respiratory disease in the years before the 1918 flu. They had hoped to find them embedded in tiny blocks of paraffin no bigger than a pinky fingernail in the Royal London Hospital, a place that has tissue from patients dating back to around 1906.
We sampled hundreds of tissues, Dr. Taubenberger said, without finding viruses. We continue to look, he said.
But, he said, with renewed interest in the 1890 pandemic, he hopes some tissues containing the Russian flu virus whatever it is might be found, perhaps lying unnoticed in the basements of museums or medical schools in different corners of the world.
Finding the tissue, though, has been challenging.
The people running institutions in which they might be housed very likely would have no way to easily access records about them, Dr. Taubenberger said. Paradoxically, genetic analysis of these samples would be less difficult than locating them in the first place.
Dr. Podolsky of Harvard and Dominic W. Hall, the curator of the Warren Anatomical Museum at Harvard, are also looking for tissue archives that might have lung tissue from that era. Mr. Hall has been reaching out to those in charge of collections of tissue samples.
On Thursday, he spoke with Anna Dhody, director of the research institute at the Mtter Museum, a collection of anatomical specimens and items from medical history in Philadelphia. She thinks items in the museums climate-controlled storage room may help.
The archive contains jars of tissue from the late 19th century, including a few whole lungs, all floating in jars of pale yellow liquid, the alcohol that was used as a preservative.
LONDON Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, has tested positive for the coronavirus, four days after her husband was reported to be reinfected, Clarence House, their royal household, said on Monday.
The announcement is likely to fan further concerns about the health of Queen Elizabeth II, who was in contact with Charles, her eldest son, two days before he tested positive. Buckingham Palace has not commented on the queens condition since last week, when it said she was not exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19.
The palace has declined to say whether the queen, who is 95, had been tested for the virus. She was scheduled to hold video calls with foreign dignitaries from Windsor Castle this week, but the palace has not said whether they will go ahead.
Clarence House has been similarly circumspect with details about Camilla, who is known as the Duchess of Cornwall. It did not describe the severity of her symptoms, after saying last week that Charles was suffering mild symptoms. Charles and Camilla have both had two doses, and booster shots, of a coronavirus vaccine.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating, Clarence House said in a statement. An official said the household would not provide a running commentary on her medical condition.
Charles, who is 73 and the heir to the throne, canceled a visit to Winchester at the last minute on Thursday after testing positive. He suffered a bout of Covid early in the pandemic, months before a vaccine was available. Camilla, 74, tested negative for the virus last week and continued with her engagements.
The royal family has been extremely guarded in its discussion of health issues involving family members. Prince William, the eldest son of Charles, contracted Covid in April 2020 around the same time as his father, but the palace did not disclose it at the time, and the news only filtered out months later.
Buckingham Palace said little about the queens condition last October when she fell ill and canceled multiple public engagements. She was briefly hospitalized, a fact that the palace confirmed only after a London tabloid broke the news. People close to the palace described it as a case of exhaustion.
The palace has not confirmed that the queen, who turns 96 in April, has been fully vaccinated. The queen and her late husband, Prince Philip, did get a first dose at Windsor Castle soon after vaccines were available.
The queen thrust Camilla into the news last week for happier reasons. In a statement issued on the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, the queen said she hoped that when Charles succeeded her, Camilla would be known as queen a major endorsement that the couple had long sought from the monarch.
We are deeply conscious of the honor represented by my mothers wish, Charles said in a statement. As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout.
But Tuesday's case total is still far lower than what the community averaged during January's spike.
SAN ANTONIO For the first time since Feb. 7, Bexar County health authorities tallied more than 1,000 new COVID-19 casesa speed bump in a month that has seen daily infection counts steadily declining after a massive January spike exacerbated by the omicron variant.
A total of 1,012 diagnoses were reported by Metro Health Tuesday, one day after brought a new record-low count for 2022. But the figure is still drastically lower than what the San Antonio area contended with nearly every day in January, when more than 4,000 new infections a day were being reported on average.
The seven-day case average increased slightly as a result, to 767. And, for the first time since before the January case surge, Metro Health indicated via its online surveillance dashboards that the local COVID-19 situation was "improving" after the past week's lower case totals. But the community is still in the "Severe" threshold.
The positivity rate has also dropped once again, this time to 17.9% from 25.1% last week. More than 517,000 Bexar County residents have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
COVID-19 hospitalizations also continued their fall, decreasing for an eighth straight day Tuesday to 638. Of those 638 patients (the fewest for our area since Jan. 6), 173 are in intensive care and 99 are using ventilators; both figures are down from Monday.
Meanwhile, four more San Antonio-area residents have died from virus complications, bringing the local total to 5,200.

The following numbers are provided by San Antonio Metro Health. A full breakdown can be found here.
The CDC states that "when a high percentage of the community is immune to a disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness)," that community will have reached herd immunity, "making the spread of this disease from person to person unlikely."
The City of San Antonio breaks down the vaccination rates by zip code on Metro Health's Vaccination Statistics page.
Coronavirus in Texas
The total number of coronavirus cases in the state since the pandemic began grew by 10,953 on Tuesday, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. That total includes 8,000 new confirmed cases and 2,953 new probable cases. More details can be found on this page.
Tuesday's figures bring the total number of Texans diagnosed with COVID-19 to more than 6.475 million.
An additional 228 Texans have died from virus complications, meanwhile, raising the statewide death toll to 81,258 .
Coronavirus symptoms
The symptoms of coronavirus can be similar to the flu or a bad cold. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Most healthy people will have mild symptoms. A study of more than 72,000 patients by the Centers for Disease Control in China showed 80 percent of the cases there were mild.
But infections can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death, according to the World Health Organization. Older people with underlying health conditions are most at risk.
Experts determined there was consistent evidence these conditions increase a person's risk, regardless of age:

Covid vaccination reduces the risk of developing long Covid, while current sufferers may experience an improvement in symptoms after getting jabbed, a comprehensive review by the UK Health Security Agency suggests.
The rapid evidence briefing drew together data from 15 UK and international studies, about half of which examined whether Covid vaccination protected against developing long Covid if someone had never been infected, while the rest looked at the impact of vaccination among people who already had long Covid.
It found that, as well as any benefit obtained by not catching the virus in the first place, those who do catch it are less likely to develop long Covid if they have received one or two doses of vaccine compared with unvaccinated individuals.
According to the two studies that measured individual long Covid symptoms, the fully vaccinated were less likely than unvaccinated people to develop medium- or long-term symptoms such as fatigue, headache, weakness in the arms and legs, persistent muscle pain, hair loss, dizziness, shortness of breath, loss of smell or scarring of the lungs.
There is also evidence that unvaccinated people with long Covid who were subsequently vaccinated had, on average, reduced long Covid symptoms, or fewer long Covid symptoms than those who remained unvaccinated, the review said.
There were, however, some people who reported worsened symptoms after vaccination, it added.
Deborah Dunn-Walters, chair of the British Society for Immunology Covid-19 taskforce and a professor of immunology at the University of Surrey, said there was not yet enough information to explain why vaccination should lead to an improvement in peoples symptoms. The term long Covid covers a wide range of post-Covid conditions and so we dont yet fully understand all the processes involved, she said.
One theory is that it may help clear up remaining reservoirs of virus in the body, or fragments of virus that are triggering ongoing inflammation. Another possibility is that vaccination rebalances the immune response in individuals whose symptoms are being driven by autoimmune-like processes this may also explain why a few people report worse symptoms after vaccination, Dunn-Walters added.
She said: This review re-emphasises the importance of everyone, no matter their age, getting vaccinated against Covid-19. Although there has been a high uptake of the vaccines in the UK so far, a significant number of people still need to come forward for a first or second dose. We must continue to make every effort to reach these people and encourage them to come forward for Covid-19 vaccination.
Prof Stephen Powis, the national medical director of NHS England, said: With more than 10,000 people in hospital with Covid [in the UK], this study is a timely and important reminder that vaccines remain our best protection against the virus, reducing the chances of becoming seriously unwell as well as the effects of long Covid.
Bars, restaurants and nightclubs will go back to pre-pandemic opening hours and face masks will not be mandatory in most places, says health minister.
The Netherlands will lift almost all its restrictions against COVID-19 by February 25 as cases and hospitalisations fall, the health minister has said.
Bars, restaurants and nightclubs will go back to pre-pandemic opening hours and social distancing and face masks will no longer be obligatory in most places.
However, visitors will need to show proof of either vaccination, a recent recovery from COVID-19 or a negative coronavirus test.
The Dutch government had imposed some of Europes toughest restrictions in December after a surge in Omicron cases but has since been lifting them in stages.
The country will open again, Health Minister Ernst Kuipers told a news conference on Tuesday.
We will go back to normal closing times we had before corona, you dont have to keep 1.5 metres away any more, he added.
Masks are obligatory only on public transport and in the airport. Keeping your distance and wearing a mask remain sensible, but there is no obligation, he also said.
Kuipers warned however that the pandemic was not over and that vulnerable people still had to take care.
We have just passed the peak [of new cases], that is why we insist we all should remain careful, he said.
The health minister took office as part of Prime Minister Mark Ruttes new government in January and quickly signalled that he wanted to start getting society back to normal.
The Netherlands suffered two spates of rioting in 2021 over coronavirus restrictions, with police shooting and injuring several protesters in Rotterdam in November.
Confirmed cases of COVID-19 have passed 411.9 million globally, according to Johns Hopkins University. The number of confirmed deaths has now passed 5.81 million. More than 10.35 billion vaccination doses have been administered globally, according to Our World in Data.
Singapore's Health Sciences Authority says it has granted interim authorization for Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine.
South Korea is set to begin giving out fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of February. The country will also supply millions of additional home test kits.

The COVID Response Alliance to Social Entrepreneurs - soon to continue its work as the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship - was launched in April 2020 in response to the devastating effects of the pandemic. Co-founded by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship together with Ashoka, Echoing Green, GHR Foundation, Skoll Foundation, and Yunus Social Business.
The Alliance provides a trusted community for the worlds leading corporations, investors, governments, intermediaries, academics, and media who share a commitment to social entrepreneurship and innovation.
Since its inception, it has since grown to become the largest multi-stakeholder coalition in the social enterprise sector: its 90+ members collectively support over 100,000 social entrepreneurs across the world. These entrepreneurs, in turn, have a direct or indirect impact on the lives of an estimated 2 billion people.
Together, they work to (i) mobilize support for social entrepreneurs and their agendas; (ii) take action on urgent global agendas using the power of social entrepreneurship, and (iii) share insights from the sector so that social entrepreneurs can flourish and lead the way in shaping an inclusive, just and sustainable world.
The Alliance works closely together with member organizations Echoing Green and GHR Foundation, as well as the Centre for the New Economy and Society on the roll out of its 2022 roadmap (soon to be announced).
World Health Organization (WHO) Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan said on Friday that the world is not yet at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as there will be more variants.
"We have seen the virus evolve, mutate ... so we know there will be more variants, more variants of concern, so we are not at the end of the pandemic," Swaminathan told reporters in South Africa, where she was visiting vaccine manufacturing facilities with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
During the same visit, Dr Tedros urged African nations to back efforts to create an African medicine regulator. Tedros said that continental institutions like the planned African Medicines Agency are important because they could cut costs and help fight counterfeit or poor-quality drugs.
Indonesia will urge the G20 group of leading economies to establish a global body that can dispense emergency funds during a health crisis, functioning in a similar way to international financial institutions, its health minister said on Friday.
Under the current system, countries are "basically on their own" if they need emergency funds, vaccines, therapeutics or diagnostics, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin told a news conference, adding that Indonesia will seek to change this during its G20 presidency this year.
"There is no global health institution that has enough power or money to jump in and help, you are basically on your own," he said.
The idea adds to a proposal by Indonesia and the US last year to create an international pandemic response system.
