On Tuesday, the number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days nationwide was 87. The previous week (October 20), the RKI had reported an incidence of 48.6 cases.
In view of the high number of cases, German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to consult with the prime minister on Wednesday about new restrictions to contain the pandemic. According to a media report, the German government is pushing to impose drastic restrictions on Germany throughout the month of November, as can be seen in a draft resolution (until Tuesday night) for the conference that is available to the newspapers of the “Funke Mediengruppe”.
From November 4 to the end of November, citizens should be encouraged to “keep contact with other people outside their own home to the absolute minimum.” Therefore, staying in public is only allowed with members of your own household and those of another household.
Austria significantly higher
According to the RKI, about 70 per cent of the districts have an incidence of more than 50, according to this information, eight districts have even more than 200. For comparison: In Austria, the incidence of 7 days per 100,000 inhabitants is 214.1.
The number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.17 in Germany according to the RKI situation report on Tuesday (previous day: 1.37). This means that 10 infected people infect almost 12 other people. The R value represents the infection rate approximately one and a half weeks earlier.
In addition, the RKI includes the so-called seven-day R in its management report. The value refers to a longer period of time and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value was 1.21 on Tuesday. It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago.
