The RKI recorded an increasing incidence for the seventh day in a row. The number of Covid sufferers who have to be treated in hospitals is also rising slightly.
Berlin – The seven-day incidence in Germany rose for the seventh day in a row. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Wednesday morning at 80.4.
For comparison: the previous day the value was 75.1, a week ago it was 65.4 (previous month: 71.0). The health authorities in Germany reported 17,015 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:52 a.m. A week ago the value was 11,903 infections.
According to the new information, 92 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were also 92 deaths. The RKI has counted 4,401,631 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.
Hospitalization value is also increasing
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days – the most important parameter for a possible tightening of the corona restrictions – was given by the RKI on Tuesday as 2.13 (Monday 1.92). A nationwide threshold, 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.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 4,174,400. The number of people who died with or with the involvement of a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 94,808. Dpa
