Corona in Germany: the incidence of hospitalization continues to rise

The hospitalization incidence is a new indicator in the corona pandemic.

The value shows the number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants in the past seven days.

However, the value reflects the infection situation with a delay.

An average of about ten days pass between an infection and hospitalization.

Most recently, the RKI had given the hospitalization incidence on Friday at 1.83 (previous day 1.74).
