The RKI registered 3187 new corona infections within one day. 94 new deaths were recorded. The seven-day incidence continues to decline.
Berlin (dpa) – The health authorities in Germany reported 3187 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day.
This is evident from the figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 05.03. For comparison: a week ago the value was 4640 infections. The RKI gave the seven-day incidence nationwide as 19.3 (previous day: 20.8; previous week: 34.1).
According to the information, 94 new deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 166 dead.
The RKI has counted 3,709,129 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 3,563,800. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 is now given as 89,585.
The nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.74 according to the RKI situation report from Wednesday evening (previous day: 0.71). This means that 100 infected people infect 74 other 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.
