D.he total number of proven corona infections in Germany has exceeded the five million mark. The health authorities in Germany reported 33,498 new corona infections to the RKI within one day, so that 5,021,469 infections have now been recorded since the beginning of the pandemic. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard from 4:02 a.m. on Sunday. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The RKI gave the nationwide seven-day incidence at 289.0, which is again a high. For comparison: the day before, the number of new infections reported per 100,000 inhabitants and week was 277.4, a week ago it was 191.5 (previous month: 67.0). According to the new information, 55 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 37 deaths.
More corona patients in clinics
The most important parameter for a possible tightening of the corona restrictions, the number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, was given by the RKI on Friday at 4.70 (Thursday: 4.65). The value will not be published on the weekend. With the indicator it must be taken into account that hospital admissions are sometimes reported with delay. A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is not provided for the incidence of hospitalization, among other things because of large regional differences. The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at 4,477,900. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 97,672.
In Bavaria, there is a comparatively high proportion of those who have been completely vaccinated among the corona deaths. According to data from the State Office for Health and Food (LGL), the rate in the four weeks from October 4 to 31 was just under 30 percent. 108 of the 372 fatalities counted in total had received both vaccinations, as the Erlangen authority announced on request from the dpa. In the first week of November the proportion was slightly lower at a good 26 percent. 23 of the 88 corona deaths were fully vaccinated.
In the past few weeks, the hospitals had also reported an increase in the number of fully vaccinated intensive care patients. The LGL emphasized, however, that the numbers should be interpreted with caution: Corona fatalities include anyone who was infected with the virus. But that does not mean that Corona is also necessarily the cause of death. The majority of corona deaths are 80 and older, and accordingly many also suffered from other diseases. However, according to the LGL, it is not possible to evaluate the deaths after previous illnesses.
The LGL also pointed out that the elderly in particular had been vaccinated early in the year. This increases the risk of decreasing immunity. That makes booster vaccinations particularly important.
Very current figures on the proportion of fully vaccinated among the corona deaths in the second week of November were not yet available on Sunday. It is clear, however, that the number of deaths in Bavaria is rising just as quickly as the number of infections. According to the Corona portal of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, 309 deaths have been reported in the Free State in the past seven days, which is more than double compared to mid-October.
