According to the RKI, the corona incidence continues to decline on Christmas Eve. However, the institute itself points to a possible source of error in the corona numbers for the holidays.
The nationwide seven-day incidence fell again compared to the previous day. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Friday morning as 265.8.
For comparison: the previous day the value was 280.3. A week ago the nationwide incidence was 331.8 (previous month: 404.5). The health authorities in Germany reported 35,431 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4.54 a.m. Exactly one week ago there were 50,968 infections.
370 new corona deaths
According to the new information, 370 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 437 deaths. The RKI has counted 6,959,067 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 Thursday as 4.55 (Wednesday with 4.57). The RKI stated the number of people recovered on Friday at 6,048,800. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 110,119.
RKI numbers are probably incomplete
However, the RKI points out: “During the holidays and at the turn of the year, when interpreting the number of cases, it should be noted that less test and reporting activity is to be expected, so that the data shown in the dashboard and management report only provide an incomplete picture of the epidemiological Situation in Germany. “
