as an unusually large number of mutations, our scientists are deeply concerned about this varied. i'm concerned, of course, and that's one of the reasons we've taken this action today. i will say we don't know enough about this for it. no one does. i think probably the u. k. knows more the most heard because the excellent work we do on surveillance, but i think it is right that we take this approach and we remain cautious. while helen reese is a senior regional advisor for the world health organization, she says that while there is reason for concern, there are more questions to be answered. i think when we see something like this and we don't yet understand it, we all must all be very concerned. and scientists have to turn their full attention to trying to understand it. but i don't think people should jump to panic, or we've seen with the delta strain, for example, that it was more transmissible. and it was more resistant to the action of vaccines, the antibodies induced by vaccines. but nonetheless,

the vaccine still prevented severe disease and hospitalization. but that this is why we're now trying to identify how widely spread this is, but we also will be a lot of work looking at, is it more transmissible? is it associated with any more severity of disease? and is, is the does, does it render the vaccines less effective, those of the policy questions that we'll be looking at. but in the meantime, a big, big a request in south africa, but to, to the world really in terms of vaccinating the african region is what we've been saying all along. please get the vaccines out into the region because as we know, variance don't stay in one country. and as we saw with the delta variant, it became the dominant very at world wide. so we really need to push vaccination as we continue to understand what this variant means. the number of coven 19 deaths in germany has passed the 100000 with another 351 fatalities is recorded in the last

24 hours. that's despite that for restrictions coming in. last week. some was a calling for help from other e you states, dominic cane has more from berlin. what you have to understand when you contemplate the reality of cove it here in germany, is that for a long time, the situation here seemed to be stable during 1st, 2nd, waves of covert. but in the course of this autumn season, the numbers of new infections, the number of deaths and the numbers of people refusing to have the vaccine. well, they have caused a real log jam as it were, a real problem here. so it has seemed, in the course of the past week, certainly maybe even longer than that 2 weeks, the not a day has gone by without one somber statistic or another happening. we've hands the day when more than $5000000.00 infections at half an hour, at 5 and a half 1000000. with half a day of record numbers of new infections at 65000 will to day it's 75000. and then

perhaps the statistic that stands out the most 100000 deaths and counting being announced today. the reason for this is because many of the unvaccinated people in this country are catching the delta variance, which we know is much more infectious the previous ferrets, and indeed more dangerous once it gets inside people systems. and so those people are all turning up at hospital at pretty much the same time and the hospitals can't cope. that's why they're asking neighboring countries to take in some of their patients. because otherwise they say they're in real problems. and some of them already having to go into tree arch mode where they prioritize patients for treatment over others because of cove. it a check, a government has declared a state of emergency after a surgeon cove at 19 cases that includes the president me lush as a man who tested positive after being released from hospital for unrelated
