Report from February 16, 2022: Berlin/Frankfurt – The nationwide seven-day incidence has fallen again – now for the fourth day in a row. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week as of today (February 16, 2022) at 1401. This increases the evidence that the omicron wave actually breaks.

Corona case numbers in Germany: experts assume higher values
The numbers are of limited value at the moment. Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data. Test capacities and health authorities are therefore at the limit in many places, and contacts are only tracked to a limited extent. In addition, the number of people who no longer have their infection confirmed by a PCR test is likely to increase – the infection is therefore not included in the official statistics.
The health authorities in Germany reported 219,972 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 5 a.m. A week ago there were 234,250 infections.
Corona in Germany: 245 deaths
According to the new information, 247 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 272 deaths. The RKI has counted 12,800,315 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.
The number of corona-infected patients who came to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was 5.90 (Monday: 5.93) according to the RKI on Tuesday. These may also include people with a positive corona test who have another main illness.
The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Wednesday as 9,153,100. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 120,467. (skr/dpa)
