Over a million infections since the pandemic began
At the weekend, the number of officially registered infections in Berlin had exceeded one million since the beginning of the pandemic. 36 more infections were reported by Monday, the total number is now 1,000,246. Experts assume that many cases are not recorded because positive rapid tests are often not followed by a PCR test. According to the registered data, 503.2 out of 100,000 Berliners were infected in the past seven days; that was a good 100 more than a week ago. Nationwide, the seven-day incidence on Monday was 639.5.
