The trend continued. The experts of the RKI record fewer new Corona infections and a once again decreased incidence. However, the number of deaths increased slightly on a weekly basis.

Health offices in Germany have reported 808 new Corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day. This is according to figures from the morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard as of 4:12 am. By comparison, the figure a week ago had been 1016 infections. The RKI gave the seven-day incidence as 5.2 nationwide (previous day: 5.4; previous week: 7.2).

Across Germany, 56 deaths were recorded within 24 hours, according to the data. A week ago, there were 51 deaths. The RKI counted 3,728,141 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the start of the pandemic, but the actual total is likely to be much higher, as many infections are not detected. The RKI reported the number of people who recovered as 3,624,200. The number of people who died from or with the involvement of a confirmed infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 90,875.

The seven-day R-value was 0.79 the previous evening (previous day: 0.79), according to RKI data. This means that 100 infected people mathematically infect 79 more people. The R-value represents the infection incidence 8 to 16 days ago. If the R-value is below 1 for a longer period of time, the incidence of infection is decreasing; if it is continuously above 1, the number of cases is increasing.
