BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany\u2019s seven-day rate of COVID-19 cases fell below a key threshold for the first time in nearly two months on Friday, paving the way for virus restrictions to be lifted if infections continue to fall.<\/p>

The number of infections per 100,000 people fell to 96.5 – the first time it has fallen below the 100 level since March 20 – from almost 126 a week ago, data from the RKI public health institute showed.<\/p>\n

The number of new daily cases rose by 11,336, bringing the total to 3,577,040, while the death toll increased by 190 to 85,848.<\/p>\n

An incidence rate of 100 infections per 100,000 people is used as the threshold for imposing a nationwide emergency brake, which includes night-time curfews and limits on private gatherings. Should the virus incidence fall below this level consistently, restrictions can be relaxed.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Jens Spahn welcomed the fall in infections, but urged caution. \u201cThe next six weeks will decide how July and August turn out,\u201d he said, following a visit to a vaccine distribution centre.<\/p>\n

Spahn said states should go ahead with openings of outdoor activities, but said indoor dining should not reopen until the incidence has fallen below 50.<\/p>\n

Several German states, including the capital city Berlin, announced plans on Tuesday to loosen coronavirus restrictions in coming days.<\/p>\n

After a sluggish start, Germany has ramped up its vaccine campaign and administered more than 1.35 million doses on Wednesday, a daily record. More than a third of people have now received at least one dose and over 10% are fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

The country is ahead of other European neighbours such as France, Spain and Poland, but behind Britain where more than half of the population has by now received at least one dose.<\/p>\n

Spahn said the focus will shift to second doses until the end of May and move back to first doses in June when the deliveries of vaccines are expected to rise sharply.<\/p>\n

A pilot project began in Berlin on Friday to vaccinate more than 10,000 people living in the Neukoelln district as part of efforts to inoculate people living in neighbourhoods with high infection rates.<\/p>\n
