This was last the case on September 21st. With a value of 639.5, the seven-day incidence is again lower than the previous day.
For the first time since September, the health authorities in Germany have not reported a single new corona death to the Robert Koch Institute within 24 hours.
Subsequent changes or additions to the RKI are possible. The last time that not a single corona death was reported within one day was on September 21. Health authorities usually report far fewer deaths on weekends than on other days. The data will be submitted later. It’s about people who died of or with Corona.
The nationwide seven-day incidence has meanwhile continued to fall. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week on Monday morning as 639.5. (previous day 666.4; previous week: 790.8; previous month: 1531.5)
24,813,817 infections detected
However, the incidence does not provide a complete picture of the development of the infection, also because the official reporting data depends on the testing behavior of the population. The RKI therefore analyzes other parameters regularly – but not on a daily basis. In their weekly report published on Thursday, the experts assumed, among other things, that the key figures for hospital admissions had continued to decrease.
The health authorities in Germany recently reported 4032 new corona infections to the RKI within one day, as can be seen from the figures from Monday morning (previous week: 20,084 registered infections). The values vary significantly between the individual days of the week, as some federal states do not report to the RKI, especially at weekends.
The RKI has counted 24,813,817 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected.
