(ANSA) - BERLIN, 15 OTT - New cases of coronavirus infections
in Germany have soared to 6,638 in the past 24 hours, official
data showed Thursday, reaching a daily level not seen since the
start of the pandemic. The alarming jump in numbers came just
hours after Chancellor Angela Merkel met with the leaders of
Germany's 16 federal states to agree tougher restrictions
designed to slow the spread of the contagion. The highest number
of new cases previously recorded in one day was 6,294, on March
28, according to figures from the Robert Koch Institute disease
control centre. (ANSA).
