Germany's Health Minister said that some regions in the country are running out of intensive care beds and recommended a bigger push on booster vaccine jabs.
Germany is experiencing a "massive" pandemic of the unvaccinated, Health Minister Jens Spahn said Wednesday, calling for tougher action to tame a resurgence in Covid cases.
"We are currently experiencing mainly a pandemic of the unvaccinated and it is massive," Spahn told reporters. "In some regions in Germany intensive care beds are running out again."
Germany, Europe's most populous country with some 83 million people, has been grappling with a fourth wave of Covid-19 cases in recent weeks that has seen the seven-day incidence rate hit highs not seen since May.
The country added 20,398 cases over the past 24 hours, the Robert Koch health institute said Wednesday, while another 194 people died.
