German air force transfers Covid patients as hospitals buckle under virus pressure

Germany’s air force will help transfer Covid-19 patients from overwhelmed hospitals in the south as the government warned the pandemic is spiralling out of control with daily cases soaring to record levels.

A military medical evacuation aircraft started airlifting seriously ill patients yesterday from hard-hit Bavaria to other hospitals in northern Germany where there is still capacity in intensive care units. Germany’s daily new infections soared to a record-breaking 76,414 yesterday, up from 52,970 new infections per day a week ago.

Europe’s biggest economy has now passed the grim toll of 100,000 Covid-19-related deaths, with the government warning that the pandemic has become the country’s worst-ever health crisis and expressing concern over a new virus variant detected in South Africa.
