Corona news for Neumünster: No new infections and new variant discovered!

The current status of the corona pandemic in Neumünster and Schleswig-Holstein causes mixed feelings. Reported on August 13, 2025 News.de that there were no new infections in Neumünster the day before. Only two new cases have been registered in the last seven days, meaning a 7-day incidence of just 2.5 per 100,000 inhabitants. A total of 32,458 positive tests have been recorded in Neumünster since the beginning of the pandemic.

There is also a similar picture in Schleswig-Holstein: the 7-day incidence is 1.4 per 100,000 inhabitants, with no new infections compared to the previous day. However, there were two new deaths, bringing the total number of Corona-related deaths to 4,036. Since the start of the pandemic, 1,204,432 infections have been registered in Schleswig-Holstein, with the number of new infections increasing to 42 in the last seven days, as incidence.info reported.

The affected age groups

A closer look at the age distribution of the infections shows that the younger generations in particular were severely affected. As the statistics from Schleswig-Holstein show, there were 29,641 cases among 0-4 year olds, while 5-14 year olds make up the largest group with 133,879 cases. The age groups between 15 and 34 years recorded 349,310 cases; In addition, 475,904 cases were counted among 35-59 year olds. Those aged 60-79 have experienced 156,537 infections, and there are 58,111 cases among those aged 80 and over.

New Covid variant Nimbus

The new Corona variant Nimbus (NB.1.8.1), which has been considered a modification of the Omicron variant since its discovery in January 2025, could also be worrying. This has been classified by the WHO as a “variant under observation,” which represents the lowest risk category. However, there is currently no evidence of more severe disease progression, which is a ray of hope for all members of the population.

A total of 126 new infections were reported across Germany on August 13, 2025. The total number of people who have tested positive since the start of the pandemic is 39,067,581. The death rate is 0.48%, which produces different numbers in relation to age groups. The older age groups are particularly affected, with 121,923 deaths among those over 80 years old, while in the younger segment there are only 64 deaths among those aged 0-4.

The vaccination campaign in Germany is also showing progress. 76.3% of the population is already basic immunized. The distribution of vaccines administered shows that Biontech is the most popular choice with 46,595,520 doses, followed by Moderna and Astrazeneca. At least the population is now well equipped against the old and new variants, which ensures a certain level of protection in everyday life.
