Just a snapshot of news just in the last few hours
Germany:
Coronavirus infections in Germany could again reach peaks seen around Christmas by mid-April, public health officials have said.
The Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases predicted that the number of daily reported cases could exceed 30,000 in the 14th week of the year starting 12 April.
“An extrapolation of the trends shows that case numbers can be expected above the Christmas level from week 14 onwards,” the RKI said in its current situation report.
Norway:
Three health workers in Norway who recently received the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid-19 are being treated in hospital for blood clots, Reuters reports, citing the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
Norway halted on Thursday the rollout of that vaccine, following a similar move by Denmark. Iceland later followed suit. Austria has also stopped using a batch of AstraZeneca shots while investigating a death from coagulation disorders and an illness from a pulmonary embolism.
