Since the virus first appeared in the Chinese metropolis of Wuhan * at the turn of the year, it has spread worldwide in the past few months. In Europe in particular, the number of infected people is increasing rapidly, to which many nations have already responded with rigorous measures. On March 16, Germany sealed off its external borders with France, Denmark, Austria and Switzerland in order to slow the spread of the virus. In addition, the disaster was declared in Bavaria.
The worst hit was Italy *, the fear of a similarly drastic scenario to that in Great Britain. Markus Söder will provide information on Tuesday at 12.30 p.m. in your press conference on the Corona stand in Bavaria.

Coronavirus crisis: Robert Koch Institute provides information on current case numbers from Germany
Several institutions provide regular information on the current number of infected and fatalities . In Germany, for example, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) provides daily information about the new numbers of infected people in the Federal Republic and beyond. For this purpose, the institute based in Berlin uses the data that was electronically transmitted by the respective health authorities of the federal states and municipalities.
However, since there is a time lag between the time a case becomes known and its electronic transmission, the RKI figures may deviate from the actual values *.
Coronavirus: Johns Hopkins University shows virus spread in real time
The numbers published by the Johns Hopkins University from Baltimore are updated regularly . The university has set up an interactive map that can be used to track the spread of Sars-CoV-2 *. The data are obtained from different sources from different organizations. These include data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States' Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
The Johns Hopkins University numbers are also updated several times a day, providing a better real-time overview of the number of infected and fatalities .
The number of infected people could soon increase dramatically. Now the Robert Koch Institute warns of a "high" danger in Germany.
An example shows what always has to be taken into account with statistics on case numbers - because a number is usually missing.
