Status: 06/14/2022 06:47 a.m
The Robert Koch Institute reports 105,840 new infections – the nationwide incidence increases from 318.7 to 447.3. Experts assume a high number of unrecorded cases.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has given the nationwide seven-day incidence in the morning at 447.3. This is evident from numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 5 a.m. Yesterday the value was 318.7 (a week ago: 199.9).
However, the incidence does not provide a complete picture of the infection situation. Experts have been assuming for some time that there will be a large number of cases not recorded by the RKI – mainly because by far not all infected people have a PCR test done. Only positive PCR tests count in the statistics. In addition, late registrations or transmission problems can lead to a distortion of individual daily values.
Values vary greatly
The health authorities reported 105,840 new corona infections and 107 deaths to the RKI within one day. A comparison with the values from the previous week does not make sense due to the very limited reports on Whit Monday (6 June). In general, the number of registered new infections and deaths varies significantly from weekday to weekday, since more and more federal states do not transmit to the RKI, especially at weekends, and report their cases later in the week.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted 26,915,085 infections with Sars-CoV-2. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected.
