The current number of cases / Chancellor warns of "courage and caution"

According to the Robert Koch Institute, 182,028 people in Germany have been shown to be infected with the corona virus (as of June 2, 12:00 am). That is 213 more than the previous day. The number of deaths rose by 11 to 8,522. Around 166,400 people are considered recovered, about 600 more than the previous day.

According to the situation report of the infection rate (number of reproductions) with the corona virus in Germany is currently 0.95 (7-day R-value, status: June 1st, 0:00 a.m.). The reproduction number R denotes the number of people infected by a Covid-19 infected person on average.

Chancellor Merkel thanks the people in Germany for their precautions, prudence and responsibility. Moreover she announces an economic stabilization program. Merkel is hopeful that the path of opening can be continued without rekindling the infections: "If we remain courageous and vigilant, we could do it." At the same time, she pointed out the importance of the hygiene and distance rules: "Keeping a minimum distance, protecting mouth and nose where prescribed, washing hands - all of this is a prerequisite for us to be able to move more freely again."
