Seven-day incidence increases to 8.0
The seven-day incidence has skyrocketed again. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) it was 8.0 – yesterday the value was 7.1, and before that it was 6.5. At the latest low on July 6, there were still 4.9 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days.
The health authorities in Germany reported 1,642 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 04.25 a.m. For comparison: a week ago the value was 970 infections. The incidence has so far been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken into account to a greater extent.

First vaccine delivery arrives in Haiti
The first 500,000 doses of corona vaccine have arrived in Haiti via the UN vaccination program Covax, as the World Health Organization (WHO) announced. The vaccine from the manufacturer Moderna was therefore a donation from the USA. So far, the poor Caribbean country has not yet been vaccinated against the corona virus. The number of infections has recently increased significantly.
