meAccording to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), German health authorities reported 3,483 new corona infections on Sunday morning in one day. Compared to Sunday last week, the number of cases increased by more than 50 percent.
From Wednesday to Thursday the value rose significantly from 2,828 to 4,058, from Thursday to Friday the number was 4,516.

Eleven new deaths
According to the RKI, at least 322,864 people in Germany have been shown to have been infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus since the beginning of the Corona crisis. Therefore, the number of deaths related to a corona infection was 9615. That was 11 more than the day before.
According to RKI estimates in Germany, based on Saturday’s management report, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.42 (previous day: 1.34). This means that an infected person infects around 1.4 people on average. The R value represents the infection rate approximately one and a half weeks earlier.
Additionally, the RKI gives a seven-day R call in its current status report. The value refers to a longer period of time and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, according to information on Friday, this value was 1.43 (previous day: 1.37). It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago.
