But according to the current picture, we have nothing to be afraid of.“

A sudden rise is not in question for the moment, but it has not disappeared either. We come across cases of Covid in a certain place. However, these have not increased our intensive care numbers and death rates. There is also the effect of the vaccine. We also see resistance to Covid in humans.he said.
