Introduction: north-south divide
The corona numbers in Germany are rising and rising. A look at the numbers reveals a clear north-south divide. Areas with a low vaccination rate are particularly affected. Read the analysis at stern +: There is no longer any doubt: the pandemic of the unvaccinated is here! One group of unvaccinated people is particularly affected: those who have no choice. Because there are no approved vaccines for them yet: children under twelve years of age. In the age group between 5 and 14 years, the incidences are sometimes in the four digits.
You can see what it looks like in your region in the graphics below. The data come from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and have been supplemented by our own calculations and other sources for the age distribution. You can select the age group you want above the map.

Background and sources
Last year the federal and state governments set up a kind of pandemic warning system, the seven-day incidence. The idea: If the number of new infections in a district increases too much within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants, stricter protective measures will be put into effect again or relaxations will be withdrawn.
Every day, the RKI publishes the number of cases that were sent to it by the health authorities up to the respective day at midnight. The presentation of the newly transmitted cases per day is based on the reporting date. This is the date “on which the local health department became aware of the case and recorded it electronically,” says the RKI website. Regional officials may communicate directly with the health authorities and may have the numbers available to the RKI.
