Germany surpassed 100,000 deaths since the pandemic began, according to official figures released Thursday.
The country’s disease control agency said it recorded 351 deaths over the past 24 hours, taking the total toll to 100,119, according to AP.
The average number of new COVID-19 cases reported in the country each day reaches a new high, currently reporting more than 53,000 daily, with the virus at its peak, according to the latest update of Reuters’ COVID-19 tracker on November 25.
In Europe, Germany is the fifth country to pass that mark, after Russia, the UK, Italy, and France.
The country’s public health agency, Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said in only one day, the country recorded 75,961 new cases, a new high at a time when the largest European economy fears hospitals to become saturated.
This record level is mainly explained by the surge of a fourth wave, in addition to the spread of a new strain of the original Delta variant.
Most recently, German Health Minister, Jens Spahn summed up the current health situation in his country, saying Germans have to choose whether to get “vaccinated, recovered or dead” by the end of winter, according to AFP.
