Reasons Germany seems to have weathered the early phase of coronavirus with fewer deaths than other nations may include its extensive network of 1,900 hospitals and its structure of public health offices.
Germany seems to have weathered the early phase of the coronavirus scare with fewer deaths than many nations, reporting only two fatalities out of 1,457 recorded cases as of Tuesday.
Germany also is considered to have one of the world’s highest concentrations of hospitals — 1,900 for a population of 82 million. And workers, who traditionally see high levels of job security in the country, tend to stay home when they notice symptoms of an illness.
“German authorities had a head start and were able to move to quickly cancel some big events, issue public warnings about hygiene that are being heeded and do other important things to try to slow down the spread,” Specht said.Advertisement “The conditions to deal with the virus in Germany are among the best in the world,” Merkel said confidently.
There were 35,000 coronavirus tests done in private practices last week with an unknown number also being carried out at hospitals, according to the KBV German Assn. of Physicians. The country has ramped up capacity and can now perform 12,000 tests per day. North Rhine-Westphalia, where hundreds of people have tested positive, on Tuesday announced that all events with more than 1,000 participants would be immediately canceled — meaning many professional soccer games there would be postponed or played in empty stadiums.
