The corona virus continues to spread in Germany.
The RKI recorded a significant increase in numbers on Monday (March 15).
In a hotspot, the rules are not tightened despite the increasing incidence.
Berlin - The corona virus has been spreading around the world for more than a year, and the past winter months in particular demanded a lot from many citizens in Germany.
For a few days now, Germany has been trying a cautious step towards normalcy, and the first easing paves the way back to everyday life.
But many experts have been warning of a third wave for some time, is there even a threat of the next lockdown?
Corona in Germany: RKI reports current infection numbers - and another increase
While the number of infections has leveled off at a normal level in the past few weeks, there have been signs of a clear trend reversal for days.
So also on this Monday, as the Robert Koch Institute reports.
6,604 people have officially tested positive for the virus in the past 24 hours.
The RKI thus recorded a sharp increase compared to Monday last week.
1,593 fewer infections were reported to the RKI on March 8.
The seven-day incidence nationwide on Monday morning was 82.9 infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
Here, too, the RKI recorded a significant increase, an incidence of 79 was recorded on Sunday.
Only the number of deaths remained at a comparatively low level on Monday, 47 more deaths were recorded within 24 hours.
A week ago, the RKI had recorded 34 new deaths.

, 492.8 people per 100,000 inhabitants are said to have been infected with the corona virus.
The Thuringian district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen is also badly affected.
With an incidence of 313.8, the district is well above the critical incidence of 100 targeted by the government. With an incidence of 154.1, Pirmasens has the sad maximum in Rhineland-Palatinate.
But the city is still waiting with strict measures.
Corona in Germany: Incidence of a city over 100 - But the emergency brake is still not pulled
As a message from the city on Sunday shows, stricter contact rules will apply from Monday, but the shops will not be closed for the time being.
Although the Corona strategy provides for shops to be closed from an incidence of more than 100 or even to introduce a night-time exit restriction, the retail trade in Pirmasens has so far been largely spared from a closure.
Meanwhile, the travel warning for Mallorca was lifted, and the demand for flights to the holiday island is already high.
