With a value of 1231.1, the seven-day incidence in Germany rose again slightly. There are 116,889 new corona infections and 51 other deaths.
Berlin – The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has reported an increase in the nationwide seven-day incidence for the fourth day in a row. The RKI gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week as 1231.1.
For comparison: the day before the value was 1220.8. A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1240.3 (previous month: 1400.8). The health authorities in Germany reported 116,889 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. A week ago there were 107,913 infections.
Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data. One reason is the limited capacity of health authorities, for example, and contacts are often only tracked to a limited extent. In addition, according to the ALM laboratory association, there is now a larger number of people whose infection is no longer confirmed by a PCR test – these infections are therefore not included in the official statistics.
15,666,900 infections detected
According to the new information, 51 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 57 deaths. The RKI has counted 15,666,900 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 6.35 on Friday (Thursday: 6.36). Among them are many people with a positive corona test who have another main illness. The value is not reported on weekends.
The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Sunday as 12,119,200. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 124,102. dpa
