That’s nearly 1,000 cases less than a week ago, according to RKI information Wednesday morning. Last Wednesday, the number of new infections reported was 18,487.
The value of Monday and Tuesday was also lower than the value of the previous week. The peak was reached last Friday with 23,542 reported cases. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted a total of 833,307 infections detected with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany. The number of deaths related to the virus rose by 305 to a total of 13,119 by Wednesday. The RKI estimates that around 546,500 people have recovered.
According to RKI’s management report on Tuesday night, the so-called seven-day R was 0.97 (previous day: 0.97). This means that 100 infected people infect almost 100 more people. The value represents the appearance of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
