Berlin – The nationwide incidence has risen to 688.3 (previous day: 669.9) compared to the previous day.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) recorded 198,583 new corona infections and 348 deaths within one day.
That emerges from data from the Covid-19 dashboard on Wednesday morning.
According to experts, the actual corona numbers are likely to be much higher.
Because of the Easter holidays, there may also be an “increased under-recording” of cases in the reporting system, the RKI reports on its website.
This should be taken into account when interpreting the case numbers.
Incidentally, a week ago 176,303 new infections and 361 deaths were recorded.
