Germany has reported 58,349 cases, 481 deaths and 4,335 recoveries, until now.

The relatively low death rate in comparison to other European countries, such as Italy or Spain, led to a discussion on the numbers of recorded and unrecorded cases, including their age distributions, and international differences in the number of intensive care beds with respiratory support.

The head of the Robert Koch Institute warned that the German death rate would increase and become similar to other countries.
