The corona pandemic in Germany is already taking a summer break.
The RKI reports an incidence of less than 500 on Monday. But the current number of cases is incomplete.
Berlin – The corona incidence continues to fall.
The value is just under 500 for the first time at 499.2.
This was announced by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Monday (May 9, 2022).
According to this, 3,350 new infections and five deaths were reported within 24 hours, as can be seen on the Covid 19 dashboard.
However, the number of cases and the incidence do not provide a complete picture of the infection situation in Germany.
"Since fewer tests, laboratory diagnostics, reports and transmissions take place at the weekend, the significance of the daily reporting of new infections at the weekend and at the beginning of the week is limited," the RKI expressly points out on its website.
“On weekends, the transmission by health authorities is not legally obligatory.
Since there are no direct consequences at state or federal level, fewer and fewer health authorities and federal states are transmitting on the weekends.
The daily fluctuations should therefore not be overestimated, especially at the weekend and at the beginning of the week.
