Corona in Germany: the number of new infections and the incidence are falling slightly
As the Robert Koch Institute reported on Thursday, the current corona incidence is 76.3. For comparison: the previous day the value was 77.9, a week ago it was 83.5. In total, the RKI reported around 12,925 new infections. Exactly a week ago, the value was given as 15,431 infections.
While the incidence and the number of new infections tend to decrease at least slightly, the number of registered deaths increases slightly. In Germany, 68 deaths have been reported within the past 24 hours. A week ago the number was 50.
Corona: Hospitalization incidence and deaths are increasing slightly
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was given by the RKI on Wednesday at 1.88 (Tuesday: 1.86). A weekly or monthly comparison is not possible due to the high number of late registrations. A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is not provided for the incidence of hospitalization, among other things because of large regional differences. The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time.
