What is the incidence, what is the R value? How many infected are there? Where does the virus spread faster again? 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 Chancellor and the country leaders have installed a kind of emergency brake, the seven-day incidence. The idea: if the number of new infections in a district rises to 100 or more within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants, stricter protective measures will be put into effect again.
Note for mobile users:.
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 coming to an end.
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 increases.
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. .

The data in the graphics come from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) or the American Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Both well-known bodies, but they use different methods for collecting and communicating the data. As a rule, the RKI publishes new data based on official information once a day. The JHU, on the other hand, also uses non-official sources and publishes the recorded data in real time. As a result, the RKI numbers are usually slightly lower than those of the JHU.
The data on the occupancy rate of the intensive care beds come from the DIVI intensive care register.
