More Than 100 People Became Infected With COVID-19 After Attending Frankfurt Church In Germany
At least 107 cases have
been confirmed to have been infected with corona virus after attending rites in
a church in Frankfurt, the financial center of Germany, on May 10, the Wall
Street Journal reported.
The Wall Street Journal
reported that German officials reported 107 cases after the May 10 gatherings
at the Christian Baptist Evangelical Church in the city, although church officials
confirmed the directions leads social distance is maintained.
This has raised concerns
that the outbreak of COVID-19 could re-emerge in Germany when the
blockade orders were eased. This implies that compliance with measures of
social distance and hygiene is not enough if people start to gather in large
numbers.
Once again we have to be vigilant and not to be careless, said
Kai Klose, Health Minister of Hesse. "The virus is still there and
can spread."
The number of people
infected with the virus at the Christian Baptist Protestant Church has
increased significantly since May 23, when Mr. Rene Gottschalk, head of the
Frankfurt Health Office, announced that about 40 people were positive after
returning from church.
The German churches were
allowed to reopen in early May, but services at the Christian Baptist
Evangelical Church where disease outbreaks have been monitored will be canceled
in the near future.
As of May 25, Germany
recorded 180,328 cases, the 8th highest in the world, with 8,283 deaths from
corona virus.
