The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gives the seven-day incidence in Germany as 74.4. This means that the value of new infections has risen for the sixth day in a row.
The seven-day incidence in Germany rose for the sixth day in a row. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Monday morning as 74.4. For comparison: the previous day the value was 72.7, a week ago it was 66.5 (previous month: 72.0).
The health authorities in Germany reported 4056 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:07 a.m. A week ago the value was 3111 infections.
RKI: ten deaths within 24 hours
According to the new information, ten deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were seven deaths. The RKI has counted 4,377 since the beginning of the pandemic. 845 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days – the most important parameter for a possible tightening of the corona restrictions – was given by the RKI on Friday as 2.02 (Thursday 1.93). A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is not provided for the incidence of hospitalization, among other things because of large regional differences. The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 4,155,000. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 94,628.
