Experts assume that there will be a high and increasing number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data, partly because testing capacities and health authorities are at their limits in many places. In addition, some cities and districts have been reporting problems with the transmission of the number of corona cases for days.
According to the new information, 172 deaths were recorded in Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 182 deaths. The RKI has counted 10,889,417 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 RKI gave the number of corona-infected patients who came to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days as 5.45 on Friday (Thursday: 5.00). These may also include people with a positive corona test who have another main illness.
The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Saturday as 8,016,000. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 118,676. (ktho/dpa)
