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 7-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.
Duchy of Lauenburg and Neumünster over 100 incidence
The Segeberg district is no longer above the 100 incidence limit (98.5). Instead, the Duchy of Lauenburg (109.1) and the city of Neumünster (103.5) tore this boundary. Due to the current corona situation, stricter corona rules have been in effect in many places since April 1.
The lowest incidences in Schleswig-Holstein with values below 50 are found in the districts of Schleswig-Flensburg (20.4) and Plön (25.6).
Development of the number of corona cases in Schleswig-Holstein
New Corona regulation valid until April 11th
On March 29, an amended Corona Control Ordinance came into force in Schleswig-Holstein. It is valid until April 11th and among other things allows more visitors to the homes again. In mid-March, the state government decided that rules for the retail trade as well as for schools and daycare centers will in future be made dependent on the seven-day incidence in the district or in the urban district.
Vaccinations against the coronavirus
People in Schleswig-Holstein have been vaccinated against the coronavirus since December 27, 2020. The vaccination rate shows what percentage of northern Germans have already received the first of the currently two required vaccinations.
197 corona patients in clinics
197 people who tested positive for Corona are currently being treated in the hospitals in the country (-5). 58 of the Covid patients are in intensive therapy (+6), 35 patients need ventilation (+3).
The following map shows the utilization of the intensive care units in Schleswig-Holstein – summarized at the level of the districts and urban districts. If you select a region (touch or click), you will find out exactly how high the load is there and you will receive information on how many corona patients are being treated in the intensive care unit and how many are being ventilated. The status of the date in the table must be observed. Due to delays in the reporting process, the information provided by the clinics or the DIVI intensive care register may differ.
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.
Regional corona data on the infection process
Some administrations publish a regional evaluation of the corona numbers, but mostly not up-to-date. A selection:
