Coronavirus: Number of hospital stays continues to rise
According to the new information, 446 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 335 deaths. The RKI has counted 5,903,999 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 are not recognized.
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was given by the RKI on Tuesday as 5.73 (Monday: with 5.52). The value plays an essential role in assessing the occurrence of the infection. If limit values 3, 6 and 9 are exceeded in the federal states, stricter measures to combat the pandemic can be imposed there.
The RKI stated the number of people recovered on Wednesday at 4,937,600. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 101,790.
