the word on fire starts aug 12th on d w we have to invite it back. and dance with the baby. this is it we do is live from berlin from poster child to growing fears of a 2nd wave of the coronavirus hitting germany health authorities bracing for a spike of covert cases expressed concerns over sharply rising infection numbers they say people are becoming complacent possibly with disastrous consequences also coming up the search for madeline mccann leads police to

a garden in germany the 3 year old vanished from a holiday apartment in portugal back in 2007 a german man currently in prison has been identified as a suspect. hi glad you could join us germany is bracing itself for a 2nd wave of the coronavirus the country's leading public health institute says new infections have risen sharply in recent days and it's largely blaming negligence among the population for driving the surge in covert 1900 cases 6 months after the gemini saw its 1st krona case many geminids feel relatively at ease. but germany's leading research institute warns that the worst may be yet to come but don't ladies and gentlemen this latest rise in covert 1000 cases here in germany is

leaving all of us here. very concerned. after we had managed to keep the number of cases stable for several weeks we have again seen a significant rise in cases of several days. the government warns that didn't you call week 1000 clusters must be contained to prevent a 2nd wave. if now in the summer through our leisure travel behavior we cause a roy's in the rate of infections or overall infections then it will become all the harder to keep the situation under control this autumn. so far germany's health system has not been overstretched by the way. over the last 6 months or done 200000 people in germany were confirmed to have coronavirus and more dead 9000 lost their lives. polls show germans continue to support the cautious approach of

government and us i believe that the government has controlled the quest was well. spent but compared to other countries germany has managed. in face of new outbreaks germany has announced it will introduce mandatory tests for travelers returning from high risk countries. while the uptick think over 1000 cases in recent days has officials worried andrew oman is a member of the german parliament and a doctor himself a very good day sir germany of course seen as the poster child for its early handling of the pandemic now top german health officials are warning and raising the alarm is jimmy and doing some of its early successes in containing covert 19 i think we have to be very careful to continue our success with low rates of

infections and little death rates but right now what we're seeing ork circle hot spots in our country that are spiking very high and this is a sum of context here and that we might develop a 2nd wave i do not really see the 2nd wave as of yet but there are concerns rising since those hotspots can usually develop into a tsunami and we don't want to have it happen again why should that the head of germany's disease control center says that public negligence is behind the rise in infectious i wonder especially as a politician i mean it seems that people are kind of ready to move on and forget about this pandemic how do you combat covert $950.00 is it a messaging issue. of course i'm missing gene issue a but it's also the issue that it's normal for human beings to strive for a new name for the old normality and many people do not except in ramallah to because they like to forget the bad things that happened back in march or april and

i think it is very important that we start to recommit the importance of physical distancing the hygiene for cautious as well as a mask because my impression is when going through germany and we have summer vacation times here right now there are a lot of people like forget to like to celebrate again and this is definitely something normal but the psychology behind this is very important that we have to redo the message and explain to everybody that it is very important that this virus stays contained i think the good chances are very high that we can contain still contain the virus but a lot of germs have forgotten that we are handling a global pandemic and it's local. that we're seeing here in our country but of course not a lot of people will be receptive to your message right now in the summertime and germany is doing relatively well so if you have to go back to stick to rules how challenging will that be you think. i think the loss of her

clear cut that we have those rules set up and we have to follow that out those last very decisively and i think that's why we have those rules and you have to be followed by official police forces for example i'm not saying that we're going to have police all running everywhere and saying and our health police you're doing you know wearing a mask better wear a mask but i think this solidarity within our society has to be renewed and understand that this virus is a danger and such a simple common cold that we are achieving here despite the fact that over 80 percent of the cases might be running miles but we still have those 20 percent that could be really of a challenge for all of us now of course the uptick in covert cases here in germany also coincides with the holiday season and the people being allowed to go abroad is that the only reason why we're seeing a surge. i think one thing has to be clear we are a free society and free travel comes with a price of course and with

a price that's called responsibility for yourself and for your society so traveling is $1.00 issue but right now the hot spots that we see here are basically local parties local celebrations people meeting demonstrations people who are not keeping their distance or wearing masks and there's also with some foreign workers here our country where housing could be or seems to be a problem or just since he cannot be achieved in slaughterhouses as well for me production so the major hotspots right now in germany are self made within our country and not by those travels outside of the european union nevertheless we have to be sure that we're not importing new virus. people with viral disease into our country to make sure that we do not have undetected hotspots andrew oman the member of the german parliament and a physician himself sir thank you very much thank you for having me. police have
