COVID-19 in Germany

WHO Disease Outbreak News bulletins concerning COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in Germany (2013). Pandemic Watch's archive covers the early-pandemic emergence period when WHO published per-country DONs; later weekly epidemiological updates from WHO are not currently ingested.

Country context

Germany has been under WHO surveillance for COVID-19 since 2013, when a single outbreak was recorded. This outbreak, labeled as a "Novel coronavirus infection - update," resulted in 41 confirmed cases and 20 deaths. Since then, there have been no further reported outbreaks in the country. The country's relatively low number of recorded cases may be due in part to its well-developed healthcare system and robust public health infrastructure.

As of the latest available data, Germany does not have an active COVID-19 outbreak. However, public health authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, particularly in light of the country's history with the virus. Readers can follow updates from the Robert Koch Institute, Germany's national public health institute, for the latest information on COVID-19 in the country.
