The seven-day incidence remains low, and the number of infections continues to decline. This is shown by the RKI’s dashboard.
Berlin (dpa) – The health authorities in Germany reported new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day in 1978. This is evident from the figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 5 a.m.
For comparison: a week ago the value was 2682 infections. The RKI gave the seven-day incidence nationwide as 35.1 (previous day: 35.2; previous week: 62.5).
According to the information, 36 new deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 43 dead.
The RKI has counted 3,681,126 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, however, since many infections are not recognized.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 3,486,700. The number of people who died with or with the involvement of a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 is now given as 88,442.
According to the RKI situation report, the nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.75 on Sunday afternoon (previous day: 0.75). This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 75 more people. The R-value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides; if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.
