Corona in Germany: Robert Koch Institute reports current infection numbers

As the RKI reported on Monday, the new week also starts with comparatively low corona numbers. With officially 5412 new infections in the past 24 hours, Germany also recorded another improvement compared to the previous week at the beginning of the week. A week ago, the number of new infections was 6922. The number of infections is usually lower on Monday, partly because there is less testing on the weekend. As the RKI had explained in its management report at the weekend, the public holiday of the previous week and the subsequent bridging day should also be taken into account. Fewer people see a doctor on these days, and the same number of laboratory tests are performed as on normal weekdays. The numbers could be skewed for this reason.

The seven-day incidence *, which is important for experts, politics and the relaxation of the corona measures, was calculated by the RKI on Monday to be 83.1 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants.

The institute had already reported this value on Sunday, the week before 119.1 people per 100,000 inhabitants had been infected with the corona virus.

According to the information, 64 new deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.

A week ago there were 54 dead.
