The nationwide seven-day incidence reported by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has exceeded the 1,000 threshold for the first time exactly two years after the first confirmed CoV case in Germany. The RKI gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week this morning with 1017.4.
For comparison: The previous day, the value had been 940.6. A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 638.8 (previous month: 222.7).
The number of new CoV infections also reached another record high and at the same time exceeded the threshold of 200,000: health authorities in Germany reported 203,136 new infections to the RKI within one day. This is according to figures reflecting the status of the RKI dashboard as of 04:59.
On January 19, the number had exceeded 100,000 for the first time. A week ago, there were 133,536 recorded new infections. Experts assume a high and further increasing number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data, among other things because testing capacities and health offices are at their limits in many places.
