Within a week, the number of new corona infections fell from 346 to 219. The RKI gives a nationwide seven-day incidence of 5.6.
Within one day, the health authorities in Germany reported 219 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). This is based on figures from Monday morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:24 a.m. For comparison: a week ago the value was 346 infections. The RKI gave the seven-day incidence nationwide as 5.6 (previous day: 5.7; previous week: 8.6).
According to the information, eight new deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were ten dead. The RKI has counted 3,726,929 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher since many infections are not detected.
Infection events are waning
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 3,620,800. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 90,762.
According to the RKI, the seven-day R-value on Sunday evening was 0.82 (previous day: also 0.82). This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 82 more people. The R-value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides; if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.
