Berlin (1),Hesse (1),North Rhine-Westphalia (12),Saxony (1),
Saxony-Anhalt (-1),and Thuringia (1).
3. (SBU) North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) remains the state showing the
highest number of infections among all German states with 168
confirmed cases, followed by Bavaria (57 cases) and
Baden-Wuerttemberg (47 cases). These states also saw the largest
increases in cases. The Federal State of Saarland remains the only
state without confirmed virus cases. The number of confirmed
infections resulting from domestic transmission of the virus
increased by 21 bringing the total up to 199.
