The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) registered 220,048 new corona infections within 24 hours. While the seven-day incidence has continued to fall, more deaths have been recorded.
Berlin – The nationwide seven-day incidence has fallen again. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week as 1371.7. For comparison: the day before the value was 1385.1. A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1472.2 (previous month: 553.2). The health authorities in Germany reported 220,048 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. A week ago there were 240,172 infections.
However, the numbers are only of limited significance at the moment. Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data. Test capacities and health authorities are therefore at the limit in many places, and contacts are only tracked to a limited extent. In addition, the number of people who no longer have their infection confirmed by a PCR test is likely to increase – the infection is therefore not included in the official statistics.
13,255,989 infections detected
According to the new information, 264 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 226 deaths. The RKI has counted 13,255,989 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 go undetected.
The number of corona-infected patients who came to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days was 5.97 (Wednesday: 6.04) according to the RKI. Among them are many people with a positive corona test who have another main illness.
The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Friday as 9,484,400. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 120,992. dpa
