Coronavirus pandemic in Germany
: The number of
corona cases
remains
at a very high level
around
Christmas
and before
New Year's Eve
.
The
hard lockdown *
because of the
corona crisis
*
shows in the fight against
19-Covid *
so far no effect.
The first corona vaccination
has now been given in Saxony-Anhalt
.
This
news ticker
is constantly updated.
Update from December 26, 10:36 p.m.:
The
R value in Germany
is currently below 1, reports the RKI in the daily status report on the
corona pandemic
.
But how does that fit together with the increasing number of cases?
After all, a value below 1 describes that the virus does not spread any further.
Two kinds of explanations are needed for this.
On the one hand, the
number of people infected with corona in Germany is
currently immensely high.
This automatically means a high number of
new infections
.
Even if not every infected person infects another person.
On the other hand, the RKI also notes that the figures are
not necessarily reliable
during the
holidays
.
"Covid cases are only detected, recorded and transmitted with a delay, so that the R-value may also be underestimated," the experts explain.
Nationwide, there were
14,455 new cases
compared to the previous day
.
The overall German
7-day incidence
is therefore
171 infections per 100,000 inhabitants
.
The situation is currently particularly acute in eastern Germany, especially
south of Dresden
.
The incidence in the entire area is over 500, in the Altenburger Land district even at 617.5.
