The Robert Koch Institute initially did not report clearly how many new corona infections were registered within a day on Saturday morning.
How this came about is still unclear.
As the official body, the Rober Koch Institute reported the numbers of new corona infections every day.
It doesn't work flawlessly on Saturday morning.
Various values were transmitted.
The correct number could be identified quickly - one reason why the back and forth came about, not.
Berlin - On Saturday morning there were inconsistencies in the reporting of new infections by the
Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
.
According to media reports, only
19,059 new cases
were reported.
Then the number was corrected - down.
Suddenly there should have been only 17,544 newly registered cases.
The RKI later corrected the number again and again reported 19,059 new infections.
The RKI confirmed these values as correct for the data status October 31, 2020, 00.00 a.m.
Corona reporting back and forth at the RKI: 17,000 or 19,000 new cases?

How the error came about is not yet clear.
According to dpa, the reporting of the official
Coronamelde numbers was delayed
on Saturday morning.
The new values were only available around 8:30 a.m.
In addition, the RKI itself warned on its Corona dashboard in the morning that there had been delays in reporting.
The institute has not yet been reached for an explanation to our editors.

So far we can only speculate about the reasons.
It could be that the
RKI
did not receive the correct figures from one or more federal states.
However, the ambiguous reporting of two numbers does not necessarily indicate a failure in the reporting chain.
Perhaps there was just a small mistake in the transfer of the state values to the nationwide.
After all, the RKI noticed his mistake and quickly corrected it, so that in the end the correct number could be communicated: 19,059 new infections within one day.

The infection rate is increasing again across Europe.
The German federal government has decided on a second lockdown: a "lockdown light".
Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder has tightened the corona rules for the Free State.
A second lockdown is also expected in Austria.
First details about Chancellor Sebastian Kurz's plans have been leaked.
