The fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic continues. The number of new infections and the seven-day incidence are rising again. The current data from the Robert Koch Institute from Wednesday morning at a glance.
The seven-day incidence has been rising continuously for over two weeks. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Wednesday morning, it was 11.4 – the previous day the value was 10.9 and the most recent low on July 6th was 4.9. Accordingly, the health authorities in Germany last reported 2203 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the figures from Wednesday morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:36 a.m. For comparison: a week ago the value was 1548 infections.
19 coronavirus deaths within one day
The incidence has so far been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken into account to a greater extent.
According to the new information, 19 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 28 dead. The RKI has counted 3,748,613 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 detected.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 3,642,000. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,416.
