The number of new infections in Switzerland has doubled within a week. Converted to the number of inhabitants, Switzerland counts twice as many new infections as Italy, said Stefan Kuster,
Head of Communicable Diseases at the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG). 3008 new corona cases in 24 hours were reported in Switzerland and Liechtenstein on Tuesday. In addition, the BAG registered eight new deaths.
The increase will not slow down until the new measures take effect, said Kuster. In Switzerland, there has been a ban on gathering more than 15 people in public spaces since Monday,
and the mask requirement has been extended to publicly accessible areas such as shops or train stations and bus stops. On average, every infected person in Switzerland is currently infecting 1.6 other people. It must be assumed that there is a high number of unreported cases,
said Kuster. Hospitals would likely start again to postpone operations that are not absolutely necessary in order to create capacity.

#Poland #Warsaw #Abortion

A country in the middle of Europe is facing a relapse into the Middle Ages: Poland is heading for a further tightening of its already strict abortion law.
The Constitutional Court in Warsaw declared a previously applicable exemption from the abortion ban to be unconstitutional. According to this, termination of pregnancy was previously permitted if the unborn child had severe malformations.
According to the judges, this violates the right to life guaranteed in the Polish constitution. More than 100 MPs, mostly from the ranks of the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), had turned to the highest Polish court with their criticism of the current legal situation.

The one variant, which had already occurred in Australia and other European countries, spread according to the report in a bus with seniors who had made a tour of Norway in September. 36 of the 40 passengers were infected,

Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier has given freelancers and self-employed people hope for an "entrepreneur wage" in the course of planned improvements to Corona aid.
However, an agreement must still be found in the coalition, Altmaier said after a video conference with business associations in Berlin. Altmaier agreed to improve and increase government aid. It is also about how solo self-employed people can be better helped.
Business associations have been criticizing for a long time that the previous aid is not a perfect fit. Andreas Lutz, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Founders and Self-Employed Germany, said that many solo self-employed workers work from home.
