Warn experts
When evaluating the infection rate, it should be borne in mind that experts are currently assuming a noticeable underreporting. Health authorities and clinics can no longer keep up with reporting cases, at least in individual regions.
As the RKI further announced, citing data from the health authorities, 21,743 new infections were recorded within 24 hours.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the health authorities have reported a total of 6,531,606 cases. The institute put the number of people recovered from illness caused by the coronavirus in Germany at around 5,435,700. The total number of corona deaths in Germany rose by 116 to 105,754.
The seven-day incidence indicates the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week. The value rose rapidly from the beginning of November. As a result, new highs were recorded every day. The incidence has been falling continuously for a week.
On November 18, the federal and state governments set the so-called hospitalization incidence as the decisive benchmark for tightening the corona measures. This value indicates how many people per 100,000 inhabitants are in hospital within seven days because of a corona infection.
From a value of three, the 2G rule applies nationwide to events in a federal state – that is, only those vaccinated against the coronavirus and those recovered from Covid-19 are allowed. According to the RKI, the nationwide hospitalization incidence on Friday was 5.71. (skr / Red / afp)
