No relaxation in the corona situation - on the contrary: the nationwide

seven-day incidence

of new infections has risen above the value of 400 for the first time.

As the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced early Wednesday morning, citing data from the health authorities, the value is now

404.5

.

It reached a new high for the 17th day in a row.

The previous day the value was 399.8 and on Wednesday of last week it was 319.5.

The seven-day incidence indicates the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week.

On November 8, the value in Germany had exceeded the threshold of 200 and thus the previous high since the beginning of the pandemic of 197.6.

Since then, new highs have been recorded every day.

As the RKI announced on Wednesday,

66,884 new infections

with the

corona virus

were recorded nationwide within 24 hours

.

The

death toll from

the pandemic in Germany rose by

335

to

99,768

.

The

of hospitalization

was reported to the latest information from the Robert Koch Institute on Tuesday nationwide at

5.6

.

The value indicates how many people per 100,000 inhabitants were in hospital within seven days because of a corona infection.

From a value of three, the 2G rule applies across the board for events in a federal state - that is, only those vaccinated against the coronavirus and those recovered from Covid-19 are allowed.

From a value of six, the 2G-Plus rule applies, in which those who have been vaccinated and recovered must also show a negative corona test.

Spahn becomes clear towards unvaccinated people

According to the RKI, the total number of registered cases of infection in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic rose to 5,497,795.

The institute put the number of people recovered from illness caused by the coronavirus in Germany at around 4,712,900.

In view of the escalating situation, the Managing Minister of Health Jens Spahn recently addressed unvaccinated people with clear words.

His CDU colleague Friedrich Merz brought a lockdown for unvaccinated people into play.

Yesterday evening it became known that, for the first time in the pandemic, intensive care patients would have to be transferred on a large scale in order to avoid a foreseeable overload of the wards.

This affects Bavaria, but also numerous eastern German federal states.
