What is the incidence, what is the vaccination rate? Where are the intensive care units full? At this point you will find an overview of the most important data on the subject of Covid-19.
Incidence: Which counties and cities are most affected?
The seven-day incidence indicates the accumulation of new infections with the corona virus per 100,000 inhabitants over a period of seven days. The value is considered an important key figure. Many containment measures were linked to incidence thresholds in the course of the corona pandemic. The map shows the incidence values in German districts and cities. A specific age group can be selected and displayed using a filter.

Vaccination rates in the federal states
The graphic below shows the percentage of people who have been vaccinated. Click on the bars for a breakdown by age group and vaccination status.
Hospitalization Incidence
The incidence records the hospitalized Covid-19 cases reported to the RKI per 100,000 inhabitants within a time window of seven days. According to the RKI, delays in reporting can lead to underestimations, including the current incidences, as hospital admission may not take place until days after the reporting date of an infection. The overview below is arranged according to age groups, “00+” includes all age groups.
Utilization of intensive care beds
The map shows the percentage of occupied intensive care beds in the hospitals of a district or a city. By clicking on a region, you can also see how large the proportion of corona patients is and how many of them are ventilated.
Reproduction number R – how many people does an infected person infect?
The reproduction number R, also often referred to as the R value, is one of the key indicators for assessing the course of a wave of infection. R indicates how many people an infected person infects on average in a certain period of time. The lower R, the better:
If R is less than 1, On average, an infected person infects less than another person – and the epidemic is running out.
If R is 1, the number of new infections is constant and linear. So the curve no longer rises exponentially.
If R is above 1, one infected person infects more than another person on average – the number of new infections every day is increasing.
Note: The R-value is an estimate. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), it is based on the assumed number of new Covid-19 cases. The R-value is shown with a four-day moving average. Each value is averaged with the values of the three preceding days. The estimated values for the number of new cases and the R-estimate for earlier days may deviate from the information in previous management reports because the overall course is re-estimated every day based on the currently available data. In addition, the RKI gives an average value for seven days.
