In the first week of the Wiesn it was even quieter, now the corona numbers are increasing – also in Bavaria.

The hospitals fill up.

Munich – While the corona numbers in Munich more than doubled within a week, they are also increasing rapidly throughout Bavaria.

According to the latest figures from the Robert Koch Institute, the 7-day incidence in Munich and Bavaria has now exceeded the 500 mark.

Corona in Bavaria: Incidences are increasing – over 500 in 40 districts

In Bavaria, the 7-day incidence on Wednesday, September 28, is now 503.2.

Compared to Wednesday last week, this means an increase of 67 percent.

While the increase in corona numbers in Munich has not been proven but is very likely to be related to the Oktoberfest, the state capital in the Free State is not alone.

A total of 40 districts and urban districts now have values ​​over 500.

The Eichstätt district is the sad leader with an incidence of 887.5.

Rosenheim follows with 866.1.

These are also the highest incidence values ​​nationwide.

As a federal state, Bavaria is in second place, Saarland has the highest 7-day incidence.

Corona: Hospitals are filling up – the validity of the 7-day incidence is questionable

Hospitalizations related to Corona are also increasing.

The State Office for Health and Food Safety reports 1,200 hospitalizations across Bavaria within seven days.

That is 66 percent more than in the previous week.

In connection with Corona in Bavaria, experts point out that the significance of the 7-day incidence has decreased significantly in recent times.

It is assumed that the corona number is much higher than that recorded by the RKI.

This is mainly due to the fact that by far not all people who have been infected with Corona also have a PCR test - but only one such is reported to the RKI if it is positive.

In addition, late registrations and transmission problems can lead to the distortion of individual daily values.
