Germany's reproduction rate of COVID-19 soars after massive outbreak at meat plant

Berlin, Jun 22(UNI) The reproduction number (R) of the coronavirus in Germany on Monday rose sharply, the country's center for disease control said, after an outbreak at a meat processing plant infected hundreds of workers.
The value indicates how much the virus is spreading in the country. A reproduction rate of 1 means each person with coronavirus will infect an average of one other person.
Data published by the Robert Koch Institute puts Germany's R-number at 2.88. Chancellor Angela Merkel has repeatedly said that Germany needs to keep the number below 1 if the country is to successfully combat the virus.
