With a value of 1543.0, the seven-day incidence in Germany has again reached a high. The RKI registers 92,378 new infections and 19 more deaths.
Berlin – The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has again reported a maximum value for the nationwide seven-day incidence.
The RKI gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Monday morning as 1543.0. For comparison: the day before the value was 1526.8. A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1259.2 (previous month: 1459.8). The health authorities in Germany reported 92,378 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. A week ago there were 78,428 infections.
Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data. One reason is the limited capacity of health authorities, for example, and contacts are often only tracked to a limited extent.
17,233,729 infections detected
According to the new information, 19 deaths were recorded in Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 24 deaths. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 is now 125,590.
The RKI has counted 17,233,729 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected. The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Monday as 13,501,400.
The number of corona-infected patients who came to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was 7.0 according to the RKI on Friday (Thursday: 6.74). Among them are many people with a positive corona test who have another main illness. The value is not reported on weekends. dpa
