Corona situation stable: No new infections in Neustadt a.d.Waldnaab!

What is the Corona situation on August 13, 2025? In Germany's districts and cities there is reporting that is viewed with mixed feelings. In Neustadt a.d.Waldnaab, no new corona infections were currently registered compared to the previous day. Looking back over the last seven days, only two new cases have occurred. This corresponds to a 7-day incidence of just 2.1 per 100,000 inhabitants. The total number of people who tested positive is 55,085, which shows that the situation here is quite stable. At least that's what news.de says in their current report.

Across Bavaria on the same day, a 7-day incidence of 1.3 per 100,000 inhabitants was found, while 18 new infections and four new deaths were reported. This shows that the number of infections in the Free State is generally at a low level. However, with a total of 6,875,205 people testing positive since the start of the pandemic, the numbers remain significant. Age groups affected differently. Children and young adults in particular seem to play a major role here - the 5 to 14 year old age group accounts for 64.9 percent of cases.

New Corona variant Nimbus – This is what you need to know

A completely new aspect of the pandemic is the previously little-known Corona variant Nimbus (NB.1.8.1), which was first discovered in January 2025 and detected in Germany in March. According to tagesschau.de, Nimbus has accounted for around 21.1 percent of all Covid infections examined worldwide since the end of May 2025. This variant, a variation of the Omicron variant, has caught the attention of the World Health Organization (WHO), which has classified Nimbus as a “variant under observation.”

Current evidence shows that Nimbus may be more contagious than previous variants, but so far there is no evidence that infections with this variant lead to more severe disease. The WHO continues to assume that the existing vaccines offer sufficient protection against severe disease. Interestingly, the WHO has also noted the effectiveness of the latest vaccines specifically adapted to omicron variants, such as JN.1 and KP.2.

Vaccination numbers and recommendations

The vaccination campaign in Germany continues. As of April 2023, an impressive 76.3 percent of the population can be considered basic immunization, with a total of over 188 million vaccine doses administered. Protection remains on the agenda, and the Standing Vaccination Commission recommends annual booster vaccinations, particularly for people over 60 and at-risk patients. This is how corona-in-zahlen.de has summarized the current vaccination numbers. Even if the infection rate appears to be slowly declining, caution is advised - especially in view of the current Nimbus variant and the occasionally increasing viral loads in wastewater measurements.

According to the latest reports, it is clear that the corona pandemic has entered a quieter phase, but important details and developments, such as the Nimbus variant and the ongoing need for vaccinations, should remain under discussion. It will be exciting to see how these circumstances will develop in the coming weeks.
