The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) usually updates its data in the morning, but sometimes not until the afternoon. Due to the delay in reporting, the RKI values usually do not correspond to the infection rate, but are too low. As a second number, we therefore give an estimate of how high the seven-day incidence could be without delay in reporting. This value comes closer to the actual development of the pandemic. You can see it when you click on one of the circles. Read more about the incidence values here.

Development of the number of corona cases in Schleswig-Holstein
Further easing throughout SH
The state government has relaxed the corona rules in view of the low number of infections. The The guideline for many events has been in effect since June 28th: 1,250 people are possible inside, 2,500 outside. This applies, for example, to concerts, the theater or cinema as well as church services, flea markets and trade fairs. In retail, as well as in cultural and leisure facilities, the square meter limit does not apply. There is no mask requirement in outdoor areas.

What these numbers say – and what not
The state government’s statistics show how many confirmed corona infections are known to the authorities in the country and were reported in the intended way. What the statistics cannot clearly show, let alone the current day, is the speed at which the virus is spreading. Because the number of people who have newly tested positive usually also includes post-reported cases from several days. There are delays in the reporting chain, especially around weekends and public holidays.
