Corona in Germany: Incidence continues to decrease – red spots on the map are disappearing

The corona numbers are going down. The situation in Germany is visibly easing. However, there are still individual corona hotspots. The news ticker.

Munich – The number of corona cases on this Sunday is once again comparatively pleasing: Experience has shown that the numbers on Sunday are lower than during the week anyway – but compared to the previous week, the number of new corona infections has almost halved. On this Sunday, the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI) reports 3,852 corona cases within 24 hours (Sunday a week ago: 6714). 56 more deaths were recorded (previous week: 82 deaths).

According to the management report from Sunday afternoon, the RKI estimates the 7-day R-value * to be 0.75 (previous day: 0.75). The R-value reflects the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. The current value means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 75 more people. If the R-value is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection rate subsides; if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.

According to the RKI, the 7-day incidence across Germany is 35.2. Particularly gratifying: Thuringia is below the 50 mark for the first time. The federal state was the last to fall below this value. There are fewer and fewer red and dark red spots to be seen on the Covid-19 dashboard. However, there are immense differences in the Corona * infection process in the regions:

Further easing is possible depending on the federal state if the 7-day incidence is stable below the 35 value *.
