Berlin – The nationwide seven-day incidence has fallen again.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week as 1385.1.

For comparison: the day before the value was 1401.0.

A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1465.4 (previous month: 528.2).

The health authorities in Germany reported 235,626 new corona infections to the RKI within one day.

A week ago there were 247,862 infections.

However, the numbers are only of limited significance at the moment.

Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data.

Test capacities and health authorities are therefore at the limit in many places, and contacts are only tracked to a limited extent.

In addition, the number of people who no longer have their infection confirmed by a PCR test is likely to increase – the infection is therefore not included in the official statistics.

13,035,941 infections detected

According to the new information, 261 deaths were recorded in Germany within 24 hours.

A week ago there were 238 deaths.

The RKI has counted 13,035,941 infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected.
