Spahn said the health system could reach its limit by April as infections rise. “At the moment, the figures are rising too fast and the variants are making the situation especially dangerous,” he said DW reported, “If this continues unchecked, we run the risk of our health system could reach its breaking point in April.”
Earlier in the week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the more contagious variant of coronavirus, the B117 variant first detected in the U.K., has now become the dominant strain in Germany, and she described it as a “new pandemic.” “Essentially, we have a new virus…it is much deadlier, much more infectious and infectious for much longer,”
“The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating almost everywhere in France,” said health minister Olivier Véran, at a news conference on Thursday, according to Reuters. “The pressure on the hospital system will continue in this new wave. We’re well into it…and nowhere near out of it,” he added.

'Double mutant' coronavirus variant is found in California
The L452R mutation became well known in California as one found in the California variant (B.1.427/B.1.429), resulting in a strain that is believed to make the virus more infectious and might cause reduced immunity in people who have been vaccinated.
The E484Q mutation is closely related to the E484K mutation, which has been found in variants first identified in South Africa (B.1.351); Brazil (P.1 and P.2) and New York (B.1.526). The E484K mutation is also concerning because it might give the virus the ability to partly evade the immune system's protective response among inoculated people or those who have survived a conventional COVID-19 illness.
