After the nationwide incidence value fell to a low of 4.9 at the beginning of July, the value is now increasing continuously.
Berlin – The seven-day incidence continues to rise. According to information from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) this morning it was 17.5 – the previous day the value was 16.9 and at the most recent low on July 6, it was 4.9.
The health authorities in Germany reported 2097 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from this morning’s numbers, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:19 a.m. For comparison: a week ago the value was 1548 infections.
The incidence has so far been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken more into account.
According to the new information, a death was recorded across Germany within 24 hours. The RKI has counted 3,771,262 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 3,654,500. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,659. dpa
