This
news ticker on the Covid 19 crisis in Germany
is updated regularly.
Update from March 8, 6:08 a.m
.: Finally, after months of stagnation, there are easing, at least in most federal states.
In most countries, there is a trend that causes discomfort to experts: In the past 24 hours, 5011 new corona infections and 34 further deaths have been reported to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
The number of new infections is around 280 more than on Monday a week ago.
In terms of deaths, this is a new low in 2021. Important note: The numbers refer to reports to the RKI - not to the date of death.
And, experience has shown that late registrations can always occur after the weekend.
The 7-day incidence is 68.0 on Monday morning (previous day: 66.1).
The RKI gives the so-called 7-day R in its situation report from Sunday evening as 1.06 (previous day: 1.06).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 106 more people.
The value reflects the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.
If the 7-day R is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides.
Update from March 7th, 10.15 p.m.:
In the tough coronavirus lockdown in Germany, easing of the corona rules * will come into force from March 8th - but that does not apply to every district and every city.
Because: The "Corona emergency brake" is taking effect in many places - two federal states are very much affected.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: The so-called corona emergency brake will apply from Monday
First report from March 7th:
Munich / Hanover - The Corona emergency brake *.
It is the newest vocabulary in the coronavirus pandemic in Germany.
The Covid-19 protection instrument applies if new infections with the insidious coronavirus * in a district, an independent city and / or a defined region exceed the 100 mark for 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.
So if the 7-day incidence *, another crisis vocabulary, is higher than 100.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: Formal errors in Lower Saxony are likely to cause more relaxation
But: In Lower Saxony there was the next breakdown in the pandemic the day before the new corona rules came into force (from March 8).
Because the regulation in the northwestern state probably contains a formal error.
The news portal
ntv.de
writes
and refers to a corresponding report in the
Neue Deister-Zeitung
.
Accordingly, the so-called body-hugging services are allowed to open even with a 7-day incidence over 100.
For example, beauticians or tattoo studios.
According to the federal-state summit, this is not actually provided for in the emergency brake.
It is at least necessary to show a negative Corona * test.
