The 7-day incidence continues to rise in Germany. According to data released by the German Robert Koch Institute (RKI) this morning, it was 36.2 – up from 35.0 the previous day and 23.1 a week ago.
Health offices in Germany reported 2,126 new coronavirus infections to the RKI within one day. That’s according to figures reflecting the 4:30 a.m. RKI dashboard. A week ago, the figure for Germany had been 1,183 infections.
The incidence has been the basis for many coronavirus restrictions in the pandemic so far, such as under the “federal emergency brake” that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken into account to a greater extent.
A total of almost four million infections detected
Across Germany, four deaths were recorded within 24 hours, according to the new data. A week ago, there had been two deaths. The RKI counted 3,823,139 confirmed infections with SARS-CoV-2 since the start of the pandemic, but the actual total is likely to be much higher, as many infections go undetected.
The RKI reported the number of people who recovered as 3,682,000. The number of people who died from or with the involvement of a confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2 rose to 91,871.
