The nationwide so-called seven-day incidence of new coronavirus infections continues to only know one direction: up.
The seven-day incidence has been rising continuously for over two weeks. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from Friday morning, it was 13.2 – the previous day the value was 12.2 and the most recent low on July 6th was 4.9. Accordingly, the health authorities in Germany reported 2089 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers from Friday morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 04.25 a.m. A week ago, the value for Germany was 1456 infections.
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 more into account.
34 Corona-Tote within 24 Stunden
According to the new information, 34 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 18 dead. The RKI has counted 3,752,592 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 3,643,300. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,492.
