Many experts had warned of the fourth corona wave, but the RKI has been reporting falling values ​​for two weeks.

Is that the calm before the storm?

An expert warns.

The news ticker.

  • The number of new Corona * infections has fallen below the level of last week.

  • The RKI has been reporting falling values ​​for two weeks.

  • But a lung expert warns: The fourth wave has not yet passed (see update from September 24th, 3 p.m.).

  • This news ticker is continuously updated.

Update from September 24th, 3:50 p.m.:

It is an incredible incident that is said to have occurred on a train near Brad Kreuznach in Rhineland-Palatinate. A mask refuser is said to have kicked a passenger who was also sitting on the train and threatened the fatal shots in Idar-Oberstein. As the police explained on Friday, the incident is said to have occurred on Thursday afternoon.

The injured party got on the regional train when the other traveler kicked her in the thigh from behind. The woman turned around, asked the reason for the attack and asked the fellow travelers to put on a mask.



Thereupon the fellow travelers insulted the woman and said that she knew what had happened in Idar-Oberstein. Because she


refused to identify herself to the woman, she took a photo of her and contacted the federal police. The investigations are currently underway there. The authority also initiated the video analysis on the regional train, on which the attacker could be easily recognized.



A 49-year-old German is accused of having shot a 20-year-old cashier in the gas station in Idar-Oberstein.

The young man had previously advised him of the mask requirement.

After his arrest, the perpetrator said, according to investigators, that he rejects the corona measures.

Corona in Germany: lung expert warns - fourth wave not yet over

Update from September 24th, 3 p.m.:

The corona numbers are falling and the number of hospital admissions also seems to relax (see update from 1.40 p.m.). But according to the Darmstadt lung expert Cihan Çelik, the fourth wave is not over yet. For medical reasons and epidemiological considerations, it makes no sense to assume "that that was all" said the senior physician at the Darmstadt Clinic in Wiesbaden on Friday. At his hospital, the personnel plan has already been increased again. He is assuming that there


will be rising patient numbers again

in October and perhaps also in

November.



"The current situation in the hospitals should only be a foretaste of autumn," warned Çelik.

He emphasized: "The vaccination has a very great benefit for the patients." Even if fewer Covid patients are currently in hospital than in the previous waves, the situation in the Darmstadt Clinic and many other Hessian hospitals is "already tense".

Federal government removes Côte d'Azur from corona risk list

Update from September 24th, 2.30 p.m.:

With the exception of some overseas territories, France will no longer be listed as a corona high-risk area by the federal government from Sunday. As the last French region in Europe, the area of ​​Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, which is popular with tourists, will be removed from the risk list, as the Robert Koch Institute announced on Friday. This means that all quarantine rules for travelers from this region no longer apply.



The EU country Slovenia, on the other hand, is now classified as a high-risk area. Anyone who has not been fully vaccinated or has recovered and


is traveling

from

there must be quarantined for ten days from Sunday. An exemption is only possible after five days with a negative test.



Other new high-risk areas are Ethiopia and Burundi in Africa and St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean.


Japan and the West African Senegal are also removed

from the

risk list.

Corona in Germany: The number of hospital admissions is falling in many places

Update from September 24th, 1.40 p.m.:

The RKI has been reporting falling values ​​for two weeks, and the number of new infections on Friday was also below the value of the previous week (see original message below).

And the number of hospital admissions is also falling in many places.

The value has already been observed for a few weeks for a possible tightening of the corona restrictions.

As the RKI explained on Friday, the value of hospital admissions is currently falling in eleven of 16 federal states below the value of the previous week.

In four federal states, however, it was slightly higher on Friday than last week (Hamburg, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia), in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania it remained stable.

Nationwide, the value on Friday is given as 1.58, in the previous week the incidence was 0.3 higher.

At the same time, the number of vaccinated citizens in Germany continues to rise.

Around 53 million people are now fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, which corresponds to 63.7 percent of all


residents

, according to the Federal Ministry of Health on Friday

.

56.2 million people or 67.6 percent of the total population have now received at least one first vaccination.

Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn called again to take advantage of vaccination opportunities.

After 1.5 million first vaccinations in the past three weeks, at least a good three million vaccinations would now be needed for a safe winter, he wrote on Twitter.

Corona: is that the calm before the storm?

RKI reports falling values ​​again - but the number of deaths is increasing

Original report from September 24th:

Berlin - The fourth wave had picked up speed quickly, the number of infections had already risen sharply before the beginning of autumn.

The Robert Koch Institute has been reporting falling numbers for around two weeks, and the incidence has also eased noticeably.

Is this the end of the fourth wave or a deceptive breather before winter?

Corona in Germany: RKI reports falling values ​​again - Is that the calm before the storm?

According to information from the RKI on Friday, the value of new Corona * infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week has fallen to 62.5.

The previous day the incidence was 63.1, a week ago it was 74.7.

As the RKI further explains, the incidence has been falling for two weeks.

And the number of new infections also paints a picture of the initial relaxation.

As the RKI reported on Friday, around 9727 people have officially tested positive for the corona virus within the past 24 hours.

A week ago, the value was 11,022 new infections.

Is the Corona autumn feared by many experts already over?

If Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn has his way, the risk of infection should not continue to be underestimated.

The CDU politician had only recently warned to keep an eye on the risk of infection despite the falling number of infections: “Last year we had such a breather at this time of the year.

So we're not through yet. "

Corona in Germany: the number of reported deaths is increasing again

The RKI reported an increasing number of deaths on Friday, with 65 deaths reported to the institute within 24 hours.

A week ago this figure was 20 deaths.



The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was given by the RKI on Thursday at 1.57.

A weekly or monthly comparison is not possible due to the high number of late registrations.

A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is not provided for the incidence of hospitalization, among other things because of large regional differences.

The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time.
