Berlin – The seven-day incidence has risen again and has peaked. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) stated the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Saturday morning as 444.3.
For comparison: the previous day the value was 438.2, a week ago it was 362.2 (previous month: 118.0). The health authorities in Germany reported 67,125 new corona infections to the RKI within one day.

303 deaths within 24 hours
According to the new information, 303 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 248 deaths. The RKI has counted 5,717,295 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 recognized.
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was given by the RKI on Friday as 5.97 (Thursday: 5.79). The value plays an essential role in assessing the occurrence of the infection. If limit values 3, 6 and 9 are exceeded in the federal states, stricter measures to combat the pandemic can be imposed there.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered on Friday as 4,803,100. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 100,779. dpa
