In Germany, the corona numbers have been rising again for days. The RKI again registers more than 200,000 new infections per day and an incidence in the four-digit range.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has reported an increase in the nationwide seven-day incidence for the seventh day in a row. The RKI gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Wednesday morning as 1319.0. For comparison: the day before the value was 1293.6. A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1171.9 (previous month: 1450.8). The health authorities in Germany reported 215,854 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from numbers that reflect the status of 5:00 a.m. A week ago there were 186,406 infections.
Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data. One reason is the limited capacity of health authorities, for example, and contacts are often only tracked to a limited extent.
Corona numbers in Germany are increasing
According to the new information, 314 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 301 deaths. The RKI has counted 16,242,070 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected.
The number of corona-infected patients who came to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was 6.62 on Wednesday (Monday 6.06). Among them are many people with a positive corona test who have another main disease. More recent figures were not initially available.
The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Wednesday as 12,753,700. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 124,764.
