In Germany, the nationwide seven-day incidence has fallen again for the first time after a prolonged period of increase. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Sunday morning as 1708.7. For comparison: The day before, the value was 1,735.0; a week ago, it was 1,526.8 (previous month: 1,346.3). The health authorities in Germany reported 131,792 new Corona infections to the RKI within one day.
This is according to figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard as of 05:04. A week ago, there were 146,607 infections. Experts assume many cases that are not recorded in the RKI data. One reason for this is the limited capacity of health offices, for example. Often, contacts are only followed up to a limited extent.
According to the new data, 49 deaths were recorded in Germany within 24 hours. A week ago, there were 50 deaths. Since the pandemic’s beginning, the RKI has counted 18,553,100 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2. The total number is probably much higher, as many diseases are not recognized.
