The seven-day incidence again peaked. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reports 48,640 new corona infections and 191 deaths within one day.
Berlin – The nationwide seven-day incidence has risen again and has peaked for the fifth day in a row.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) stated the number of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Friday morning as 263.7. Since Monday there had been records in the incidences reported by the RKI on a daily basis. On Thursday the value was 249.1. A week ago the value was 169.9 (previous month: 65.8).
The health authorities in Germany reported 48,640 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 3:40 a.m. This is the second highest value since the beginning of the pandemic. The number of new infections had reached a record level the previous day at 50,196. Exactly one week ago the value was 37,120 infections.
According to the new information, 191 deaths were recorded throughout Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 154 deaths. The RKI has counted 4,942,890 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. 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 Thursday at 4.65 (Wednesday: 4.61). With the indicator it must be taken into account that hospital admissions are sometimes reported with delay. 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 4,450,200. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 97,389. Dpa
