corona
infections
7.14 a.m.:
The nationwide seven-day incidence has risen again. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Friday morning at 340.7. For comparison: the previous day the value was 336.9, a week ago it was 263.7 (previous month: 75.1). The health authorities in Germany reported 52,970 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 3:48 a.m. Exactly one week ago there were 48,640 infections.
According to the new information, 201 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 191 deaths. The RKI has counted 5,248,291 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 recognized.
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 Thursday at 5.30 (Wednesday: 5.15).
With the indicator it must be taken into account that hospital admissions are sometimes reported with delay.
A nationwide threshold, 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 last year.
The RKI stated the number of people recovered as 4,588,200.
The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 98,739.

“Just like any other double-vaccinated citizen, I received my two vaccinations at an official vaccination center and got the appropriate sticker on the yellow vaccination card.
I then had it digitized in the pharmacy and naturally assumed that everything would be in order with it.
I very much hope that the subject clears up quickly, ”was quoted at the beginning of the communication.
