The seven-day incidence in Germany has continued to decline.
The current figures from the Robert Koch Institute also show that the number of corona deaths has halved during one week.
Berlin - The health authorities in Germany reported 538 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day.
This is evident from the numbers from Sunday morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard.
For comparison: a week ago the value was 842 infections.
The RKI gave the seven-day incidence nationwide as 5.7 (previous day: 5.9; previous week: 8.8).
According to the information, eight new deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.
A week ago there were 16 dead.
The RKI has counted 3,726,710 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 3,619,400.
The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 90,754.
According to the RKI, the seven-day R-value on Saturday evening was 0.82 (previous day: also 0.82). This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 82 more people. The R-value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides; if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases. dpa
