Corona: Why are the infection numbers in Würzburg soaring?

The number of corona infections is increasing rapidly. In Würzburg, the incidence doubled within a few days and on Wednesday was 171.2 new infections registered per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days. This is the highest value since the beginning of the pandemic. This is due to the British virus variant B.1.1.7, which, according to the health department, is now detected in 80 to 90 percent of cases. On Tuesday alone, 67 new corona cases from the urban area were reported to the health department, said its deputy head Barbara Finkenberg in a press conference of the district office.
