The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) registered 297,845 new corona infections within 24 hours. The incidence is also at a new high.
Berlin – The number of new corona infections transmitted to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day has risen to an all-time high.
According to the RKI, the health authorities reported 297,845 new infections in 24 hours. A week ago there were 252,836 new infections recorded. The RKI gave the seven-day incidence as 1706.3 – this is also a high. For comparison: the previous day the value was 1651.4, a week ago it was 1439.0 (previous month: 1371.7). The current figures reflect the status of the RKI dashboard on Friday morning, 5 a.m.
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.
number of deaths is falling
According to the new information, 226 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 249 deaths. The RKI has counted 18,287,986 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 7.58 according to the RKI on Thursday (Wednesday: 7.45). 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 14,323,500. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 126,646. dpa
