The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reports 10,976 new infections on its website. This is a decrease from 13,755 infections the previous day. The number of deaths linked to the virus also declined from 356 to 348, meaning that more than 1.65 million people in Germany have now contracted the coronavirus, and 30,126 have died.

The seven-day incidence drops to 157.8 from 161.3 the previous day. The figure indicates how many people per 100,000 population tested positive within seven days. The RKI points out that during the holidays and at the turn of the year, fewer tests and laboratory examinations as well as fewer transmissions of test results by the health offices are to be expected.
