The authorities in Berlin are warning residents that the number of coronavirus cases will continue to rise. Three of the German capital’s 13 cases could not be traced to others in the city, raising the threat of local transmission. The epidemic in Europe will probably get much worse before it is contained, officials warned on Thursday, as the number of infections across the continent jumped sharply, from fewer than 4,000 on Wednesday to well over 5,000, with at least 160 deaths.
“We must accept that this will continue and we will have more new cases confirmed,” said Dilek Kalayci, the local health minister. “No one is able to stop this from spreading.” “It’s now highly likely that the virus is going to spread in a significant way,” said a spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain, where the number of cases rose from 87 to 115.

Dilek Kalayci, the local health minister in Berlin, said: “We must accept that this will continue and we will have more new cases confirmed. No one is able to stop this from spreading.”
Health experts at the Robert Koch Institute, Germany’s public health institute, urged officials around the country to continue with an aggressive strategy of ordering anyone who had come into contact with an infected person to stay at home. In the hardest-hit European countries, the number of cases saw the biggest one-day jumps so far: from 3,089 to 3,858 in Italy; from 262 to 482 in Germany; and from 285 to 423 in France. In Netherlands, infections more than doubled, from 38 to 82.
Initial cases in Germany were traceable to northern Italy, the epicenter of the European outbreak. More than 3,000 people have been infected in Italy, and more than 100 deaths recorded. Switzerland has reported its first death from the virus, a 74-year-old woman who had a pre-existing illness. The death toll in Italy, the source of outbreaks in several other countries, leapt from 107 to 148, the highest figure outside of China.
Britain and Switzerland reported their first coronavirus deaths on Thursday, and Spain had its second. In Berlin, officials said three of the 13 cases could not be traced to any others, suggesting that the virus was spreading undetected in the city.
