Corona in Germany: 7-day incidence continues to rise - RKI with gloomy prognosis
Last Sunday, the RKI registered 8,103 new infections and 96 deaths within one day.
The 7-day incidence was 66.1.
After a significant decline in January and February, the increase in new infections * that has been observed for a few days continues.
According to the RKI, the spread of virus variant B.1.1.7 * is responsible for this trend.
According to a forecast by the institute *, the number of new infections around Easter could even be higher than at Christmas.
The 7-day incidence in three federal states is already above 100. In Bavaria, the first cities and districts have also exceeded this critical mark.
The Corona emergency brake applies there - means: Stricter measures will come into force again.
Corona in Germany: Two districts in Brandenburg oppose the "emergency brake"
In Brandenburg, two districts oppose this corona emergency brake.
The districts of Oberspreewald-Lausitz and Elbe-Elster do not want to introduce stricter corona * rules - contrary to what has been specified - although their 7-day incidence is also over 100.
The Elbe-Elster district has been one of the regions with the highest numbers of infections in Brandenburg for several weeks.
According to the RKI *, the 7-day incidence there is currently 170.9.
Nevertheless, District Administrator Christian Heinrich-Jaschinski (CDU) wrote on Facebook on Friday: "If the applicable regulations are observed, no new restrictions are required."

Most corona infections in the district were therefore due to private get-togethers and celebrations as well as negligence in occupational safety.
Further restrictions for shops, daycare centers or schools would have comparatively little influence on the infection rate, but would be associated with serious side effects, explained Heinrich-Jaschinski.
Corona in Germany: counties are not planning any tightening - "emergency brake" not explicitly in regulation
The district administrator of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district, Siegurd Heinze (independent), had also stated that after the long weeks of the lockdown * and a few days after the first easing, no stricter corona rules were planned.
The 7-day incidence in the district was 168.2 on Sunday, according to the RKI.
The red-black-green state government of Brandenburg was sharply criticized after the last corona summit between the federal and state governments because it did not explicitly include the agreed corona emergency brake in its ordinance.
However, the Corona Ordinance states that the districts and urban districts should take further protective measures, especially if there is an increase in new infections per 100,000 inhabitants over 100 within a week.
From an incidence of 200, the latest easing should be withdrawn.
"If the 100 limit is exceeded at the level of a district or an independent city, the districts are called upon to take appropriate measures," Brandenburg's government spokesman Florian Engels told

.
"This is why it is advisable, for example, to increase the range of tests from an incidence of 100 and to pay more attention to compliance with the rules."
