With 808, twice as many new corona infections as the day before.
According to the RKI, the seven-day incidence drops further to 5.2.
Berlin - The health authorities in Germany reported 808 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day.
This is evident from the figures from Wednesday morning, which reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:12 a.m.
For comparison: a week ago the value was 1016 infections.
The RKI gave the seven-day incidence nationwide as 5.2 (previous day: 5.4; previous week: 7.2).
According to this information, 56 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.
A week ago there were 51 dead.
The RKI has counted 3,728,141 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 people recovered as 3,624,200.
The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 90,875.
According to the RKI, the seven-day R-value on Tuesday evening was 0.79 (previous day: 0.79).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 79 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.
