The seven-day incidence has been increasing day by day for just under a week.
The number of new infections is also significantly higher than a week ago.
Berlin - The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has again reported an increase in the official nationwide seven-day incidence.
The RKI gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Tuesday morning as 239.9.
It has been increasing from day to day since December 30th, although the RKI continues to assume that new infections will be under-recorded due to fewer tests and reports during the holidays and vacations.
For comparison: the day before, the nationwide incidence value was 232.4, a week ago it was 215.6 (previous month: 432.2).
The health authorities in Germany reported 30,561 new corona infections to the RKI within one day.
This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 5:19 a.m.
Exactly one week ago there were 21,080 infections.
356 deaths registered
According to the new information, 356 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.
A week ago there were 372 deaths.
The RKI has counted 7,238,408 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 recognized.
