The incidence in Munich is skyrocketing.
There are two reasons.
The state capital has reached a milestone in terms of vaccinations.
Munich - The seven-day incidence rises and rises and rises.
According to the RKI, the value for Munich * on Tuesday (January 11th) was 532.5.
For comparison: last Friday it was 305, the following Monday it was 476.9.
There were higher incidences on Tuesday in Bavaria only in the Starnberg district and in Würzburg.
Of course, the aftermath of the holidays also plays a role here.
On the one hand, there were fewer tests and, on the other hand, there were more encounters * through family celebrations.
Another reason for the rapid increase: the highly contagious Omikron variant.
Corona: Omikron dominant variant in Munich - 4123 suspected cases
In the past two weeks, 4123 suspected Omikron cases were reported to the health department and only 1142 cases of the other variants.
It is clear: Omikron has established itself as the dominant variant in Munich.
This is also shown by the figures from the Becker laboratory.
The laboratory community examines several hundred corona-positive PCR tests per week for the Omikron variant in the greater Munich area *.
Accordingly, the share of all positive cases last week was around 80 percent.
Before Christmas, Delta was still the determining variant with 72.5 percent.
Corona: Munich reaches milestone with second vaccinations - more than a third boosted
The city of Munich has reached a milestone with second vaccinations.
In the meantime (as of Sunday, January 9th) more than a million Munich residents have received two corona vaccinations.
This means that the quota of fully vaccinated people in the total population is 67.4 percent.
511,215 Munich residents - and thus more than a third - have even been boosted *.
The current number of cases: 1582 new corona cases (including 230 late registrations) and seven other deaths were reported in Munich on Monday.
The R value is 1.41.
