More than 89,300 COVID-19 cases and at least 1,250 deaths have been registered as of Saturday afternoon across Germany, according to evaluations of the German Press Agency (DPA) which took into account the latest figures from all federal states.

According to the DPA's tally, the confirmed cases increased by 5,600 from the previous day, and the deaths by 147.

Helge Braun, head of the Federal Chancellery, told the Saturday edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine that the climax of the COVID-19 crisis in Germany has not yet been reached, and "the time with the highest infection numbers is still ahead of us."
