Maintenance work in the EMS reporting system
The epidemiological reporting system (EMS), which recently sparked discussions due to various problems with the crown’s data, underwent a three-hour maintenance on Sunday. As announced by the Ministry of Health by transmission, it is not possible to report corona cases during this period, the interested parties involved have already been informed.
In several federal states, there were massive problems over the course of the week registering new Covid infections in the EMS, the registry in which everyone who is diagnosed with a notifiable disease is registered. Here, countries were last able to report thousands of known test results on Wednesday Thursday alone, so the statistics of new infections were grossly distorted. Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) assumed that day that the complications had been resolved after a review.
Lower number of registrations on Sunday

The period for the maintenance work was selected after a thorough analysis, as the fewest reports were expected here.
