The number of daily corona infections in Germany has decreased significantly over the past 24 hours. The number of confirmed cases rose by 15,741 to 918,269, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases reported Sunday.

On Saturday the institute reported 22,964 new confirmed cases, Friday it was 23,648 cases. The reported death toll rose by 138 to 14,022 on Sunday. That too is considerably lower than the day before when there were 254 deaths from Covid-19.

In Germany, a partial lockdown has been in effect since 2 November. The catering industry is closed and a maximum of 10 people from two households are allowed to visit each other. Schools and shops will remain open. Despite the high contamination figures, the RKI thinks that the epidemic has gradually reached its peak and that the measures are bearing fruit.
