The health authorities in Germany reported 212 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day, compared to 219 infections a week ago. The RKI gave the seven-day incidence nationwide as 5.0 (previous day: 5.0; previous week: 5.6).
Berlin – The highest seven-day incidence during the third corona wave was on April 26, 2021 at 169.3. After that, the value – apart from a few outliers – fell fairly steadily. Recently, however, there were signs of a possible trend reversal, which pandemic experts have long been warning of due to the increasing spread of the particularly contagious delta variant.
According to the new information, a death was recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were eight dead. The RKI has counted 3,731,124 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 RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 3,629,300. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,031. dpa
