Dhe health authorities in Germany reported 22,231 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day. In addition, 312 new deaths were recorded within 24 hours. That comes from figures from Wednesday morning that the Status of the RKI dashboard from 5:10 a.m. reproduce. Subsequent changes or additions to the RKI are possible. On Wednesday a week ago, the RKI had recorded 24,884 new infections and 331 new deaths within one day.
According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was 160.6 nationwide on Wednesday morning. The day before, the RKI had given this seven-day incidence as 167.6; a week ago it was 160.1.
Seven-day R-value goes down
The RKI has counted 3,332,532 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected. The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 2,954,000. The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 82,280.
The nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.93 according to the RKI situation report from Tuesday evening (previous day: 1.01). This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 93 other people. The R-value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides; if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.
