Of the nearly 5,813 patients in Germany, 13 died, meaning that the death rate is much lower than in France with 127 and Spain with 292. Italy in this case doesn't even count.
Interestingly, there are up to 10 times as many deaths as are reported in the U.S.
Many health experts have highlighted several reasons for this.
Some medical professionals and political leaders have said in recent days that the number of infected and deaths caused by the notorious virus will rise significantly.

There are more than 300 such health offices throughout the country, which have an important authority.
