In Germany, the number of new cases of coronavirus is growing for the second day in a row

In Germany, the number of new cases of coronavirus infection has been increasing for the second day in a row, while the number of daily deaths among those infected has declined.

This is evidenced by the data of the Robert Koch Institute.

Over the last day in Germany, 1284 new cases were confirmed, while yesterday, 947 cases were reported. The previous two days were about 680.

The total number of infected since the beginning of the epidemic has increased to 166 091 people.

It is also reported that the number of deaths among those infected per day was 123, while a day earlier there were 165 deaths. Since the start of the epidemic, a total of 7119 people have died.

Recall that the federal government and the lands in Germany agreed to continue restrictions on social contacts until June 5, but with mitigations.

Until now, restrictions on trade in areas up to 800 square meters are canceled. Stores are required to take hygiene measures and prevent queues.

At the same time, the decision to weaken measures, as before, will be made by the authorities of the federal states - therefore, stricter rules may apply in places where an outbreak occurs.

In Deutschland fast tausend neue Fälle von Coronavirus pro Tag

In Deutschland hat die Zahl der Neuerkrankungen an Coronaviren sowie die Zahl der täglichen Todesfälle bei den Infizierten zugenommen.

Dies belegen die Daten des Robert-Koch-Instituts.

Am letzten Tag in Deutschland wurden 947 neue Krankheitsfälle bestätigt, während die beiden vorangegangenen Tage etwa 680 waren. Die Gesamtzahl der seit Beginn der Epidemie infizierten Menschen ist auf 164.807 gestiegen.

Es wird auch berichtet, dass die Zahl der Todesfälle unter den Infizierten pro Tag 165 betrug, während es am Tag zuvor 139 Todesfälle gab, und in den Daten für Sonntag - 43.

Dieses Wachstum kann jedoch durch die Tatsache erklärt werden, dass die Ausgabedaten verzögert sind. Seit Beginn der Epidemie sind insgesamt 6.996 Menschen gestorben.

Erinnern Sie sich daran, dass Deutschland diese Woche die Quarantäne geschwächt hat, indem es Gottesdienste und Besuche in Museen, Spielplätzen, Ausstellungen und Zoos erlaubt hat, jedoch nur strengen Maßnahmen unterliegt.

Wie berichtet, hat die Bundesregierung ihren Bürgern im Rahmen der Coronavirus-Pandemie noch keine Fernreisen empfohlen.

Die ursprüngliche Hochzeit wurde von Fußballfans in Deutschland gespielt

Im Kino in Düsseldorf haben 3 Paare sofort geheiratet. Einer von ihnen sind Fans der lokalen Fußballmannschaft Fortuna, die in der Bundesliga auftritt. Die Gäste beobachteten die Zeremonie von ihren Autos aus und hupten aktiv. Und heiratete den Liebhaber von Düsseldorfs Maßnahmen, Thomas Heisel, der durch Plastikglas von den Paaren getrennt war. In diesem Jahr feiert der Verein "Fortuna-Düsseldorf" 125 Jahre. Die deutsche Meisterschaft wollen sie diesen Monat wieder aufnehmen.

München: Bewährung nach Gewaltexzess unterm Schwammerl

Die sogenannte pilzförmige Veranda am Hauptbahnhof existiert nicht mehr. Es wurde vor einigen Monaten abgerissen. Was jedoch an einem der berühmtesten öffentlichen Hotspots der Stadt geschah, gilt immer noch für Schiffe.

Ähnlich wie bei einem besonders gewalttätigen Streit im April 2017. Die Betrunkene, die eine junge Frau beleidigte, die nach Oralsex fragte, schlug ihrem Partner Bogdan V. ins Gesicht (41 Jahre alt, Name geändert). Ein Spezialist (42) von einer Fledermaus traf infolge übermäßiger Gewalt ein auf dem Boden liegendes Bein und brach sich mit einer Stahlabdeckung für seine Arbeitsschuhe die Stirn.

Amtsgericht München: Bewährungsstrafe

Daher war die anfängliche Anklage sogar ein versuchter Mord. Das Gericht kam jedoch schließlich zu dem Schluss, dass der 42-jährige Mann von dem versuchten Totschlag zurückgetreten war und daher nur wegen gefährlicher Körperverletzung verurteilt werden sollte. Er erhielt insgesamt sechs Jahre Gefängnis.

Bogdan V. wurde im November 2018 nach dem im ersten Prozess verhängten Urteil zu einem Jahr und sechs Monaten Gefängnis verurteilt. Aber ich mochte die Verteidigung. Und war erfolgreich. BGH hat das Angebot zumindest storniert. Richter aus Karlsruhe bemerkten, dass das Münchner Gericht dem Angeklagten erhebliche kriminelle Energie zuschrieb, ohne den emotionalen Zustand des Schlägers zu untersuchen.

Bei einem kürzlich eröffneten Prozess gegen Bogdan V. am Mittwoch kam das Bezirksgericht zu dem Schluss, dass ein Jahr und sechs Monate ein Urteil waren. Darüber hinaus ist es aufgrund der langwierigen Untersuchungshaft möglich, die Bestrafung mit einer Probezeit unter Auflagen zu verschieben. Bogdan V. traf eine Entscheidung im Gerichtssaal.

München: MVG-Automat spuckt leeres Ticket aus

Der AZ-Leser Henrik B. (67 Jahre) glaubte, dass er im April Teil des Fernsehprogramms Understanding Fun wurde. B. wollte erneut eine Monatskarte M6 Isarcard S für 53 Euro in einem Fahrkartenautomaten der Münchner Transportgesellschaft (MVG) kaufen.

Aber das Auto in der Ausstellungsstadt im Osten hat es nicht ausgespuckt. Die offizielle Vorlage befand sich im Ausgabeschlitz mit der Seriennummer auf der Rückseite. Aber voraus: nichts. B. ist sich sicher, dass er beim Auschecken kein gültiges Ticket hat.

Ein ehemaliger Datenbankprogrammierer benötigt eine Karte, um Fotos in ganz München zu machen, die er manchmal an Agenturen verkauft. „Also verbessere ich meine Rente“, sagt B. Wie viele andere Münchner Rentner muss auch er jeden Euro überweisen.

Ein Rentner fährt fünf Stunden in München für seine Monatskarte

So etwas muss gelöst werden, dachte er. Deshalb kaufte B. eine Tageskarte für 7,80 Euro, um zum MVG-Informationszentrum direkt im Zwischengeschoss der U-Bahn Marienplatz zu gelangen.

Eine MVG-Mitarbeiterin erklärte ihr, dass sie eine vierstellige Fahrzeugidentifikationsnummer benötige, bevor sie helfen könne. Also kehrte der 67-jährige Junge in die U-Bahn zurück, kehrte zum Horrorauto zurück und schrieb eine vierstellige Nummer auf: 5478.

Jetzt ging er zum MVG Hauptbahnhof Infocenter, wo er auf freundlicheres Personal hoffte. Dort baten sie ihn, den Prozess online durchzuführen. „Ich konnte es nicht glauben“, sagt B., erschöpft von der Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsbewegung, „ich hatte ein leeres Ticket mit einem Barcode und einer Autonummer. Warum war der Test? "

Nach einem weiteren kurzen Gespräch erhielt B. seine Monatskarte. Der MVG-Mitarbeiter hat den Prozess dokumentiert. Aber B. war immer noch fassungslos. "Ich bin wegen eines MVG-Fehlers fünf Stunden gefahren."

Kein Einzelfall: Der Vertreter von MVG Cort gibt den Telefondienst an

MVG-Sprecher Matthias Corte kennt solche Fälle. Das ist selten. Sie können die genaue Nummer nicht angeben. Im Fall von Herrn B. wurde das Problem geklärt: "Die Maschinensoftware hat den Ticketdrucker nicht korrekt verwaltet." Einzelne Fehlfunktionen können leider nicht ausgeschlossen werden.

Korte empfiehlt, immer zuerst die Autonummer aufzuschreiben, damit Sie die Beschwerde bearbeiten können. Es wird normalerweise merklich getroffen. Der Vertreter fügte hinzu: "Telefonische Unterstützung ist auch möglich", die Nummer ist mit dem Auto.

Im Hauptbahnhof Info Center hätte Henry B. laut Cort ohne Diskussion geholfen werden können, obwohl der Mitarbeiter am Ende guten Willen zeigte und ein neues Ticket druckte - das er wahrscheinlich nicht brauchte. In der Regel können solche Beträge nur erstattet werden, wenn die MVG-Werkstatt detaillierte Barcode-Informationen auf einem leeren Blatt gelesen hat.

Es wird jedoch allgemein empfohlen, solche Beschwerden über das Online-Formular einzureichen. Die Tageskarte, die Henry B. zum Informationszentrum bringen sollte, wird ihm erstattet.

Münchner Nordosten: Widerstand gegen grün-rote Pläne

Es gibt bereits Probleme aufgrund von grün-rot. Dies ist auf das Maß der Stadtentwicklung im Nordosten (SEM) zurückzuführen. Das Umweltbundesamt (BN) kritisiert auch die Definition von neuem Wohnen für 30.000 Menschen. SEM deckt landwirtschaftliche und naturnahe Gebiete am Stadtrand zwischen Johanneskirchen und Rom ab.

Streitpunkt: Tunnelbau unter der Autobahn S8

Nach der aktuellen Entscheidung des Stadtrats ist es das Ziel, einen neuen Lebensraum für 30.000 Menschen und eine Infrastruktur für 300 von 600 Hektar unbebautem Gebiet zu schaffen. Die Stadträte hielten es für notwendig, die Strecke S8 zu bauen, die nach Abschluss des Baus des Brenner-Basistunnels Teil der europäischen Eisenbahn wird.

Robert Brannekamper ist entsetzt, weil laut Koalitionsvertrag "die Grünen und die SPD die Fertigstellung der Route nicht als Voraussetzung für die Umsetzung von SEM betrachten".Im März kündigte BA-Präsidentin Angelica Pilz-Strasser (Grüne) die Reduzierung der für die Implementierung von SEM erforderlichen Route an. Pilz-Strasser, der auch Mitglied des Stadtrats ist, sieht keinen Widerspruch: Sie können planen, der Tunnel ist im Kapitel „Mobilität“ des Koalitionsvertrags vorgesehen."Es geht um die bestmögliche Lösung für Nordost-München und nicht immer um Prävention!"

Erste Gespräche mit möglichen Investoren

Die Rettungsaktion im traditionellen Stuttgarter Spielwaren Kurtz geht weiter. Tobias Val, vorläufiger Insolvenzvertreter, bestätigt, dass Verhandlungen mit potenziellen Investoren im Gange sind. Val sicher.

Mitarbeiter des traditionellen Stuttgarter Spielwarengeschäfts Kurtz, das von der Insolvenz der Muttergesellschaft Kanz Financial Holding betroffen ist, können weiterhin auf Erlösung hoffen. „Das Management, unser Insolvenzteam und ich arbeiten intensiv an einer zukünftigen Lösung für die Kanz-Gruppe“, sagt Tobias Val, Administrator der Zwischeninsolvenz. Die Eröffnung eines Fachgeschäfts in der Sporerstrasse 8 nach der Schleuse war ein wichtiger Schritt auf diesem Weg und weckte Vertrauen.

Dadurch kann das Unternehmen seine Aktivitäten weiter stabilisieren. Dies ist auch wichtig für den Erfolg von Verhandlungen mit Investoren, die gerade erst begonnen haben. Ziel ist es laut Val, die Kanz-Gruppe und damit Spielwaren Kurtz zusammen mit dem neuen Investor in eine vielversprechende Zukunft zu führen. Die Gespräche mit potenziellen Stakeholdern stehen jedoch noch am Anfang.

Schausteller erarbeiten Konzepte für alternative Events auf dem Wasen

Am Freitag möchte Bürgermeister Fritz Kun (Grüne) vom Gemeinderat die Erlaubnis erhalten, das 175. Cannstatt Volksfest abzusagen. Wie Sie wissen, wurde das traditionelle Ereignis, wie alle wichtigen Ereignisse, aufgrund der Kronenpandemie abgesagt. "Gesundheit erlaubt nichts anderes", sagte Bürgermeister Fritz Kun. Es wird nicht erwartet, dass im Herbst ein Impfstoff oder ein wirksames Medikament entwickelt wird.

Die Schausteller Ralph Benda, Christian von Berg, Stefan Kinzler und Nico Lustnauer schickten den Wählern ein Hygienekonzept für das Herbstfestival, das ebenfalls von OB geleitet wurde, ins Rathaus Kunu in einem offenen Brief. Schausteller "beantworten sehr spezifisch und sehr gewissenhaft zahlreiche Fragen zur Hygiene", sagen freie Wähler und wollen wissen, ob es der Stadtverwaltung möglich ist, ein solches Herbstfest auf Vasen abzuhalten.

Kappa Duty & Limited Service

Wenn Vergnügungsparks, Zoos und Zoos unter bestimmten Bedingungen öffnen dürfen, sollte dies auch für Feierlichkeiten möglich sein, sind vier Schausteller überzeugt. Das Herbstfest findet vom 25. September bis 11. Oktober in 160 Ausstellungsräumen ohne Zelte statt - in einer komplett eingezäunten, unbebauten Straße mit einer Fläche von rund 20.000 Quadratmetern und 5.000 Quadratmetern Sitzgelegenheiten. Eine begrenzte Anzahl von Besuchern kann durch spezielle Ein- und Ausgänge über zwei Eingänge garantiert werden - vom Wasen-Parkplatz und der Koenig-Karls-Brucke-Brücke.

Seien Sie auf alle Gelegenheiten vorbereitet.

Die Southwest Showmen Association (SVS) und die State Association of Showmen and Market Traders untersuchten ebenfalls alternative Veranstaltungen und entwickelten gemeinsam Konzepte. „Wir haben unsere Aktivitäten mit Bürgermeister Wassen Furman und dem Unternehmen, das die Veranstaltungen in Stuttgart ausrichtet, koordiniert“, sagt Mark Roshmann, Vorsitzender der SVS. Er weiß auch, dass "es natürlich paradox ist, das Festival abzusagen und ein anderes Konzept aufrechtzuerhalten." Dies wird auch nicht erwartet. Sie wollen vorbereitet sein, wenn die allgemeinen Bedingungen dies zulassen.

Corona-Fälle im Asklepios Klinikum Harburg

In der Asklepios-Klinik in Harburg kam es zu einem schweren Ausbruch. Ein Krankenhausteam bestätigte am Donnerstag mit Der Spiegel den NDR 90,3. Das Krankenhaus erfuhr offenbar erst spät, dass der zugelassene Bewohner des Pflegeheims ein positives Ergebnis für das Virus lieferte.

Laut Asklepios wurde der Patient kurz vor seiner Einlieferung ins Krankenhaus untersucht - am Donnerstag Anfang April. Ein positives Testergebnis wurde am nächsten Tag an das Gesundheitsamt geschickt. Aber die Ärzte würden erst am Montagabend davon erfahren - drei Tage zu spät, sagte der Unternehmenssprecher. Ein zweiter Bewohner des Pflegeheims stellte ebenfalls fest, dass er mit einer Koronarinfektion ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert wurde.

Zulassungen für Pflegeheime

Asclepius wirft einem Pflegeheim in Wilhelmsburg schwere Vorwürfe vor. Von Anfang an hätte gesagt werden müssen, dass es zu Hause Fälle von Krone gab. Der Hausbetreiber widerlegt dies laut Spiegel: Die Sanitäter, die die beiden Rentner ins Krankenhaus brachten, wurden informiert. Tatsache ist jedenfalls, dass auch bei mehreren Patienten und Klinikpersonal ein Virus festgestellt wurde - 48 Ärzte und Krankenschwestern wurden vorübergehend isoliert.

Watchdogs warn COVID-19 apps come with privacy risks to Canadians - Bowen Island Undercurrent

OTTAWA — Governments that want to use smartphones to trace the movements of Canadians during the COVID-19 crisis should handle personal information with care, privacy watchdogs from across the . . .

OTTAWA Governments that want to use smartphones to trace the movements of Canadians during the COVID-19 crisis should handle personal information with care, privacy watchdogs from across the country warned Thursday in a united call for caution. Privacy commissioners have been warning of potential risks associated with government COVID-19 apps since provinces started musing about the idea a few weeks ago. The apps work by keeping a record of when one phone gets close to another, and then alerting users if they've come into contact with someone who has a confirmed or presumed case. Alberta introduced its ABTraceTogether app last week, and New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador are looking at developing their own. "The choices that our governments make today about how to achieve both public health protection and respect for our fundamental Canadian values, including the right to privacy, will shape the future of our country," the federal, provincial and territorial privacy commissioners wrote in a joint statement Thursday. Federal privacy czar Daniel Therrien said the health crisis calls for some flexibility when it comes to the application of privacy laws, but there is a way to use technology to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus without sacrificing fundamental rights to privacy. "Everything hinges on design, and appropriate design depends on respect for certain key privacy principles," Therrien said in a statement Thursday. Therrien and the other commissioners said that while app developers need to respect Canada's privacy laws, those laws aren't always effective in the digital world. They released a set of guidelines for provinces, urging them to be transparent and accountable about how their apps work and what is being done with users' personal information. The commissioners stressed participation should be voluntary and users should provide clear consent to whatever they're signing up for. The apps should also be secure to safeguard personal data, which should be destroyed once the crisis is over, they said. Canada's chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, said her team is keeping an eye on the apps in development across the country to see if one could be adopted at the national level, but privacy will be the main concern. "I think if there are certain tools that are better than others, that's the kind of knowledge that you want to share," Tam said at a briefing Wednesday. "Not just whether the application works, but all of the policies that go with it, like privacy, which I think is the most paramount of some of the policy discussions." The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta is already reviewing the app deployed in Alberta, and will be issuing recommendations to the provincial government. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 7, 2020.

Why countries keep bowing to Apple and Google’s contact tracing app requirements - The Verge

They who make the hardware make the rules. That’s why England appears likely to reverse course and adopt the tech giants’ exposure notification scheme

They who make the hardware make the rules Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge This story is part of a group of stories called The Interface is a daily column and newsletter about the intersection of social media and democracy. Subscribe here. Last month, after Apple and Google announced some changes to their forthcoming attempt to track the spread of COVID-19, I noted the surprising degree to which tech giants are setting the terms of the pandemic response. They own the hardware, they own the software, and national governments who would use it to find new cases of COVID-19 have to do it on the companies terms. This week, that process began to accelerate. But first, a bit of background. The Apple-Google collaboration will ask you to opt in to a system that causes your phone to emit Bluetooth signals to other phones around you. When you are in close proximity to another person for an extended period of time more than five minutes, typically both of your phones record the interaction. When a person tests positive for COVID-19, they will have the option of anonymously notifying other phones that they may have been exposed to the virus and encouraging their contacts to self-quarantine or seek treatment. A sticking point between the tech giants and nation states has been who will process the exposure notifications. Apple and Google want to process the notifications on users phones without storing them on a central server, to preserve the maximum degree of privacy possible. Some European countries, meanwhile, have sought to process notifications on a central server, in the hopes that having more detailed information will help them identify additional exposures and more rapidly contain the spread of the virus. (MIT Tech Review has a great tracker that looks at how countries are building these apps, including whether or not theyve adopted the Apple-Google approach.) This put France, whose politicians have regularly upbraided Silicon Valley for perceived data privacy lapses, in the very funny position of begging Apple and Google to lower their privacy standards. Germany, whose scientists had helped devise Europes (deep breath) proposed Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing project, decided to throw in with Apple and Google after it became clear that was not going to happen. Until now, the United Kingdom has held holding firm in its commitment to building its own exposure notification app, even though it will have limited access to the Bluetooth notifications necessary for it to work. James Vincent explained why this is a problem this week at The Verge: Both Google and Apple restrict how apps can use Bluetooth in iOS and Android. They dont allow developers to constantly broadcast Bluetooth signals, as that sort of background broadcast has been exploited in the past for targeted advertising. As The Register reports, iOS apps can only send Bluetooth signals when the app is running in the foreground. If your iPhone is locked or youre not looking at the app, then theres no signal. The latest versions of Android have similar restrictions, only allowing Bluetooth signals to be sent out for a few minutes after an app has closed. Such restrictions will block devices from pinging one another in close quarters, drastically reducing the effectiveness of any contact-tracing app. Google and Apple can rewrite these rules for their own contact-tracing API because they control the operating systems. But for countries trying to go it alone, like the UK, the restrictions could literally be fatal. iPhone users with the app installed could interact with someone who is later diagnosed with COVID-19 and never know it, if their phone doesnt keep a log of their interaction. Now it seems that all of this has dawned on the UKs National Health Service, which has asked the consulting firm charged with building its app to investigate switching over to the Apple-Google model. Here are Alex Hern and Kate Proctor today in the Guardian: With growing questions over that approach, it emerged that the Swiss-based consultancy Zühlke Engineering has been hired to undertake a two-week technical spike to investigate implementing Apple and Googles system within the existing proximity mobile application and platform. [...] The prime ministers official spokesman left open the possibility that a change could be made, telling reporters: Weve set out our plans for a centralised model and thats what we are taking forwards but we will keep all options under review to make sure the app is as effective as possible. Right now, its unclear how an app that only works when every citizen in the United Kingdom has the app downloaded, open, and running in the foreground at all times is going to be as effective as possible. As of today, Id be surprised if the UK hadnt adopted the Apple-Google approach by the end of this month. Its a fascinating tension: corporations trying to do right by their users versus countries trying to do right by their citizens. As Sam Lessin notes in The Information, this is an uncomfortable place for a tech giant to be. This isnt an enviable position for tech companies, he writes. It puts them in a nearly impossible position in terms of almost always absorbing blame no matter what they do whenever the choices are hard. Elsewhere, India is learning that the privacy concerns around exposure notification apps and contact tracing are not merely abstract. Aarogya Setu, the countrys own homegrown exposure notification app, has significant privacy flaws, Andy Greenberg reported this week at Wired: Independent security researcher Baptiste Robert published a blog post today sounding that warning about Indias Health Bridge app, or Aarogya Setu, created by the governments National Informatics Centre. Robert found that one feature of the app, designed to let users check if there are infected people nearby, instead allows users to spoof their GPS location and learn how many people reported themselves as infected within any 500-meter radius. In areas that have relatively sparse reports of infections, Robert says hackers could even use a so-called triangulation attack to confirm the diagnosis of someone they suspect to be positive. The developers of this app didnt think that someone malicious would be able to intercept its requests and modify them to get information on a specific area, says Robert, a French researcher known in part for finding security vulnerabilities in the Indian national ID system known as Aadhaar. With triangulation, you can very closely see who is sick and who is not sick. They honestly didnt consider this use of the app. On one hand, privacy has never been the prime directive for a contact tracing scheme. The whole point is to find out peoples real names, phone numbers, and locations so you can tell them that theyre sick before they infect anyone else. At the same time, tech giants are understandably wary of building a tool that could be misused by law enforcement, oppressive governments, or the sorts of bad actors that Robert describes in India. For the moment, its the giants argument that has carried the day and done so, at least for now, with remarkably little resistance.
