The number of new infections and the seven-day incidence continue to rise. This is shown by the current figures on the RKI dashboard.
Berlin – The seven-day incidence has been increasing for three weeks. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from the morning, it was 15.0 – the previous day the value was 14.5, at the latest low on July 6, it was 4.9.
The health authorities in Germany reported 2768 new corona infections to the RKI within one day, as can be seen from the figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 04.28 a.m. A week ago, the value for Germany was 2203 infections.
Further criteria for assessing the situation
The incidence has so far been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken into account to a greater extent.
According to the new information, 21 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 19 dead. The RKI has counted 3,761,169 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 RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 3,649,100. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,586. dpa
