Not only is the seven-day incidence increasing – the number of new corona infections has also increased significantly compared to the previous week, according to the RKI.
Berlin – The seven-day incidence continues to rise. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Sunday morning, it was 35.0 – the previous day the value was 32.7, a week ago it was 22.6.
The health authorities in Germany reported 4728 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers from Sunday morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:01 a.m. A week ago, the value for Germany was 3127 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, three deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. There were four deaths a week ago. The RKI has counted 3,821,013 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 3,679,500. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,867. dpa
