Corona Wunder in Sömmerda: No new case in weeks!

What is happening in the health sector? The current Corona numbers from Germany show gratifying developments. On June 29, 2025, no new Corona infections were reported in the Sömmerda district in Thuringia. Over the past seven days, the number of cases remained at zero, so that the 7-day incidence has dropped to 0.0 per 100,000 inhabitants. The entire Free State of Thuringia can also take a positive balance: here the 7-day incidence is also low 0.3 per 100,000 inhabitants.

All over Germany, there are also no new new infections on the same day. The nationwide 7-day incidence is 0.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. A total of 39.062.216 Corona cases have been registered since the beginning of the pandemic. Unfortunately, 187,728 people died in or with Covid-19. The lethality rate amounts to 0.48%, as the data from corona-in-fahlen.de show.

A look at the age groups

The effects of the virus are very different in different age groups. If you look at the number of infection in Thuringia, we see a high frequency in younger age groups:

• 0-4 years: 25,582 cases (30.9 %)
• 5-14 years: 102,266 cases (52.57 %)
• 15-34 years: 216,261 cases (56.45 %)
• 35-59 years: 363,315 cases (50.96 %)
• 60-79 years: 143,667 cases (25.21 %)
• 80+ years: 55,413 cases (30.18 %)

These figures clarify that the younger generations in particular were affected by the virus.

The new variant nimbus

The development around the newly discovered Corona variant Nimbus (NB.1.8.1) remains particularly exciting. This has been observed since January 2025 and classified by the WHO in May 2025 as a "variant under observation". So far, however, no new infections have been documented by this variant in Thuringia or in the rest of Germany. So the situation is under control, but vigilance is required in such a dynamic situation.

vaccination statistics and tenor

In Germany, the vaccination rate for basic immunization is 76.3%. Around 63.49 million people have completed their basic immunization. The total number of vaccinations administered is more than 188 million. A wide range of vaccines was provided, including Biontech (46,595,520 doses) and Moderna (5.143,642 doses). You can find more information about this at the Robert Koch Institute, which with its dashboard "VacMap" offers a clear presentation of these important vaccination statistics.

On the way to normal, the use of vaccinations is a crucial part. The last figures show that 77.9% of the population has already received at least one vaccination. The implementation of the vaccination recommendations is of central importance to avoid further waves of infection.
