reThe number of new coronavirus infections remained below the 2000 mark one day after reaching the highest level since April. In one day, German health authorities reported new corona infections in 1916, as the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced on Friday morning.
The peak of new infections reported daily was over 6,000 in late March / early April. Then the number tended to decrease and rose again in July. In August, the number of cases was just over 2000 (2034). The number of new infections detected is also likely to depend on how many people are tested.
Since the beginning of the Corona crisis, at least 267,773 people in Germany have been shown to have been infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus (data as of September 18, 12:00 am) According to the RKI, the number of deaths related to a corona infection is 9378. Seven more deaths have been reported since the previous day. According to RKI estimates, around 238,700 people had survived the infection by Friday morning.
According to RKI estimates in Germany, based on Wednesday night’s management report, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.00 (previous day: 1.04). The RKI had not released more recent data as of early Friday. This means that an infected person infects another person 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, this value was 1.06 (previous day: 1.00). It shows the infection process for eight to 16 days.
