German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday she was concerned about Germany's rising COVID-19 infections, urging Germans to get vaccinated.
"The infection figures are rising again and with a clear and worrying dynamic," Merkel told a press conference in Berlin.
"We are seeing exponential growth," she said, adding that "every vaccination... is a small step towards a return to normality".
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Germany has confirmed 3,756,408 cases and 91,953 deaths.
