➤ RKI registered 12,029 new corona infections – incidence at 70.3
The seven-day incidence has risen again. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Friday morning, it was 70.3 – the previous day the value was 66.0, a week ago it was 48.8.
The health authorities in Germany reported 12,029 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:00 a.m. A week ago, the value for Germany was 9280 infections.
According to the new information, 14 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 13 deaths. The RKI has counted 3,913,828 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 incidence has so far been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June. In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken more into account.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 3,718,900. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with SARS-CoV-2 rose to 92,096.
The other corona news of the day:
Concert organizers want the Hamburg 2G model nationwide
06:02 am: The President of the Federal Association of the Concert and Event Industry, Jens Michow, calls for uniform national rules for his branch.
“We hope that the Hamburg 2G model is a blueprint for all other federal states,” said Michow of the German press agency in Hamburg. As long as there are capacity restrictions and distance rules, events make no economic sense.
His association therefore welcomes the 2G option, which will be possible in Hamburg from Saturday. Then organizers can decide whether they only let in vaccinated and convalescent people, who are then largely exempt from the corona restrictions, or whether they want to continue to use the 3G model. This includes those who have been tested and therefore not vaccinated, but is subject to the previous corona restrictions.
“Concert tours will only be possible again, however, when there is no patchwork of different regulations in Germany, but when the federal states finally agree on a uniform opening scenario,” emphasized Michow. Since PCR tests provide far more reliable results than quick tests, it must also be possible to allow those who have tested PCR access to events without capacity restrictions.
Positive corona test at Kiss frontman Stanley – concert canceled
05:49 am: The hard rock band Kiss canceled a concert in the USA at short notice because of a positive corona test with frontman Paul Stanley. All band members and the crew were fully vaccinated and had followed hygiene rules, the band announced on Thursday evening (local time) on Twitter. The rockers should have performed as part of their “End Of The Road” tour in the US state of Pennsylvania.
The 69-year-old singer wrote on Twitter that he had flu-like symptoms, but several tests were initially negative. A test was only positive on Thursday afternoon.
The band around the hard rockers Stanley and Gene Simmons is known for hits like “Shout It Loud”, “Calling Dr. Love” and “Cold Gin”. The spectacular stage shows, along with the black and white make-up of the musicians, are the hallmarks of Kiss.
