The case numbers of the RKI can differ from those of the individual federal states. One reason for this is the longer transmission routes between the RKI and the responsible health authorities. The RKI’s Covid-19 dashboard can also be adjusted during the day.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Wednesday morning at 80.4. For comparison: the previous day the value was 75.1, a week ago it was 65.4 (previous month: 71.0). The health authorities in Germany reported 17,015 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:52 a.m. A week ago the value was 11 903 infections.
Corona in Germany: 92 deaths within 24 hours
According to the new information, 92 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were also 92 deaths. The RKI has counted 4,401,631 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 Tuesday as 2.13 (Monday 1.92). A nationwide threshold, 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 4,174,400. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 94,808. (Red / dpa)
