BERLIN/FRANKFURT, Jan 10 (Reuters) - The following are some
of the factors that may move German stocks on Monday:
    
    CORONAVIRUS
    Germany reported 25,255 new infections and 52 more deaths.
    Germany must revamp its strategy for tackling the Omicron
variant if it faces a more deadly coronavirus variant, Health
Minister Karl Lauterbach of the ruling centre-left SPD said in
an interview on Sunday. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2TO0AA
    He also told broadcaster ARD Germany will study how
successful mass rapid antigen tests in the coronavirus pandemic
are in detecting Omicron.
    Business and health organisations pushed for quick debates
by the lower house of parliament on bringing in obligatory
vaccinations. However, parliamentarian leader of the Green Party
Britta Hasselmann told Funke Medien that such a move represented
a deep intervention and needed to take time
preparing. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2TP0E0     
    Logistics industry group BGL sees the security of supply in
Germany at risk because of the spread of Omicron. BGL president
Dirk Engelhardt told the Bild am Sontag Sunday paper: "Omikron
has the potential to cause more frequent delivery bottlenecks
and not all supply chains may be sustainable."


    AAREAL BANK  ARLG.DE 
    The bank has proposed three new candidates with banking
experience for the supervisory board after shareholders in
December removed three members, Handelsblatt said in its online
edition on Friday, adding the bank declined to comment on the
report.
    
    CUREVAC  5CV.DE 
    CureVac late on Friday announced fresh ventures: it expects

quarter 2022, and start a modified second-generation MRNA
vaccine candidate in a Phase 1 trial in the third
quarter. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nFWN2TN0V2
    
    ECONOMY 
    Germany's first Greens economy minister, Robert Habeck, is
changing the format of the country's annual economic report to
focus on sustainability and climate protection rather than
economic growth alone, Der Spiegel reported on
Friday. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2TN1IC
    Rising energy prices may force the European Central Bank to
stop "looking through" high inflation and act to temper price
growth, particularly if the green transition proves
inflationary, ECB board member Isabel Schnabel said on
Saturday. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2TO08T
