The
seven-day incidence
in Germany rose for the sixth day in a row.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Tuesday morning as
75.1
.
For comparison: the previous day the value was 74.4, a week ago it was 65.8 (previous month: 70.5).
The health authorities in Germany reported
6771 new corona infections to
the RKI within one day
.
This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4.18 a.m.
A week ago the value was 4971 infections.
According to the new information,
88 deaths were
recorded
across
Germany within 24 hours
- exactly as many as a week ago.
The RKI has counted 4,384,616 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days - the most important parameter for a possible tightening of the corona restrictions - was given by the RKI on Monday as
1.92
(Friday 2.02).
A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is
not provided
for the
incidence of hospitalization,
among other things because of large regional differences.
The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 4,164,600.
The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 94,716.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) spoke out on Monday in favor of phasing out the so-called "epidemic situation of national scope". The Robert Koch Institute classifies "the risk for vaccinated people as moderate", so given the current vaccination rate, the epidemic situation could expire and end as a nationwide exception on November 25, 2021, according to a report by the Ministry of Health.
The German Hospital Society welcomes the planned end of the Corona emergency.
"I can understand the step and do not consider that to be a problem," said General Manager Gerald Gass of the editorial network in Germany.
In view of the high vaccination quota in Germany, it should no longer be necessary for the federal government to adopt measures to control pandemics beyond state competencies, he said.
"I also no longer expect the same high numbers of Covid patients in the hospitals for autumn and winter as in the past."
