14 residents died in a Berlin retirement and nursing home after a corona outbreak.
This was announced by a spokeswoman for the operating company Kursana.
"As before, 27 residents and 17 employees tested positive," it said.
On Friday, 14 residents were moved from the home, in which around 100 people live, to hospitals and other homes.
The Senate Department for Health was "dismayed" by the events before the other deaths became known.
The home supervision was active, said a spokesman.
One expects "absolute transparency and, if necessary, consequences" from the operator.
It had previously been announced that twelve corona-infected people had died from the home within five weeks - most of them in the hospital.
According to the operator, all had serious previous illnesses or were in the palliative phase.
From the middle of this week, employees should use corona rapid tests before starting work.
There had already been outbreaks in old people's and nursing homes in Berlin and nationwide in the spring, in some cases with high death rates among residents.
