Now, according to the Interior Ministry, there is a quote, abstract threat of sabotage on Germany's vaccination campaign.

In a letter, the ministry said vaccination opponents and conspiracy theorists could try to break into facilities or launch cyber attacks.

Now German vaccine manufacturers have already been targeted on several occasions by hackers attempting to steal intellectual property.

For more on the story, we could bring in our political correspondent Emmanuel Shots Here in Berlin, she's following the latest Hi, Emma, this sounds a serious I mean, how dangerous is the situation?

Well, it is a very serious situation indeed.

And German authorities warned against the high risk off.

For example, cyber attacks against a research sites, production sites, all vaccination centers, They say also that they've identified already some individuals responsible for such hackings.

And beyond that, they also worry about the the protests that are taking place, organized by coronavirus, skeptical by anti vaxxers.

They feel that those protests could could go get out of hand, the way they, for example, went out of hand on the political level of the capital in the United States.

So there's a very serious threats here in Germany that the whole vaccination roll out might be at risk because of that.

But as you mentioned, authorities are so confident that they're on top of things right now.

Okay, so authorities say they're monitoring the situation.

Meanwhile, officials here in Berlin have shut down an entire hospital after identifying cases of the new mutation off co vid 19.

We'll talk about that in a moment, Emma.

But first, let's take a look at this report.

Yes, the Humboldt Clinic in Berlin, where more than 1500 staff and 400 patients are in quarantine.

The hospital will not be admitting any new patients for at least the fortnight.

It's not nice for the patients.

They aren't allowed any visitors.

I am sad.

My daughter is inside.

She's waiting for food and drinks, but I can't go in.

The closure comes after 14 patients and six staff members tested positive for the highly contagious New Cove in 19 strain that originated in the UK.

Staff who tested negative are in a so called shuttle quarantine Onley allowed to travel between work and home but testing of all patients and staff is ongoing.

The first results are starting to come in and we're not optimistic.

Way hope to have a better overview of the situation in the coming hours and days, but we can already see that the number of cases is increasing up to the end.

Justified such tight, the Humboldt Clinic is considered exemplary.

It is one of the Onley clinics in Berlin that has been testing for the mutations since the start of the year.

It was only because we did a preliminary screening of positive tests that the new virus strain came to our attention, and we could act accordingly to protect the population as well as our employees and patients.

It's despite their quick action.

There is great concern that the new virus variant will still spread uncontrollably, both in Berlin and the rest of Germany.

Emma, this hospital has been sealed off, and that means that staff is being shuttled between work and home.

But that does still mean that they would be in contact with other people.

There will be, but that just shows you just how difficult it is.

Thio prevent essential workers from actually doing their work.

This is impossible.

We need doctors.

We need nurses so they do have to commute from home to work.

But for that, the government also made a at they put at their disposal shuttle Busey's so as to avoid as much as possible that those people come in contact with the general publication, for example, population story, for example, in public transports and bring us up to date on the overall situation right now in Germany.

Well, authorities are very worried about the new variant off the virus.

It'd sage.

That's virologist Christian drops down from the charity hospital.

Who confirms, uh, Daddy did say that this violent variant is 35% more contagious, more infectious than the virus that we currently now.

No.

And in Germany, there's been titled Border Checks implemented on Sunday.

This might mean that there's gonna be some impact on a fresh food import in Germany.

There's also additional controls implemented in airports on people coming back from high risk areas.

Now, on the situation regarding the virus days less infections registered today and less deaths and also a seven days incidents way that is still decreasing.

There's 111 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, but that's still two times higher than the critical treasure hold.

The vaccination roll out is still ongoing, with 1.5 million people vaccinated at the moment.

And also a new medicine has been will be implemented that this is a new antibody medicine that will be given to patients so as to avoid that they develop severe symptoms from the coronavirus.
