Germany recommends only Pfizer-Biontech COVID-19 vaccine for people under 30
Earlier on Wednesday, the Robert Koch Institute public health authority reported 39,676 new COVID-19 cases in Germany, a record for the third day in a row. That brought the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases to 4,844,054.
The total number of deaths increased by 236 to 96,963.
The institute also reported a rise in the coronavirus seven-day incidence rate - the number of people per 100,000 to be infected over the last week - to the highest level since the start of the pandemic, also a record for the third day in a row.
Germany has already had to relocate some patients from regions with overburdened hospitals.
The three German parties in talks to form a coalition government by early December have agreed not to extend a nationwide state of emergency.
Instead, they presented a draft law late on Monday that would amend existing legislation to allow for measures such as compulsory face masks and social distancing in public spaces to continue to be enforced until March next year.
The draft law is due to be presented to the Bundestag lower house of parliament on Thursday and voted on in a special session a week later.
