northAfter a decline in the numbers on Sunday and Monday, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), German health authorities reported more than 4,000 new corona infections in one day on Tuesday morning. According to the RKI, the total is 4122.
By Thursday, the number of new infections had passed the 4000 mark for the first time since April, at 4,058. On Saturday, there were even 4,721 new cases detected.
Significantly more cases than a week ago
On Monday, 2,467 new corona infections were reported in one day. Experience has shown that the figures recorded on Sundays and Mondays are usually lower, also because not all health authorities transmit data to the RKI on weekends. On Tuesday a week ago, there were 2,639 cases.
According to the RKI, at least 329,453 people in Germany have been shown to have been infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus since the start of the Corona crisis. Therefore, the number of deaths related to an infection was 9634. That was 13 more than the day before. According to RKI estimates, around 279,300 have been recovered.
According to Monday’s management report, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.29 (previous day: 1.40). This means that an infected person infects just under 1.3 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, this value was 1.25 (previous day: 1.37) according to information from Monday. It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago.
Meanwhile, the ban on accommodation in many countries to protect against corona infections continues to come under fire shortly before the Prime Minister’s Conference. The food-pleasure-restaurants union warned of existential risks to businesses, union politicians questioned the effectiveness of the measure and warned that inconsistent Crown regulations were contributing to uncertainty and uptake issues. The Association of Towns and Municipalities asked politicians to unify the accommodation rules.
Meanwhile, more and more cities in Germany are becoming hotspots for the crown, with Düsseldorf also exceeding the warning level on Monday night. Chancellor Angela Merkel and the prime ministers of the federal states want to consult on Wednesday. Many politicians had already called for the regulation to be withdrawn on Monday. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said Chancellor Merkel will listen to arguments from all sides. But these are state regulations.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) said Monday in an Ifo Institute videoconference: “If it’s about mobility and there are no uniform rules, then … it undermines acceptance.” That is why it is important that you go on Wednesday to follow a common line with the prime ministers. Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) also called for a more uniform approach to anti-crown measures. He will work for “clearer rules for all” at the Prime Minister’s Conference, Söder said Monday night at BR. He did not rule out the possibility of tightening anti-crown measures not only at the regional level, but in all areas. German cities and municipalities also called for a uniform solution, which would then also apply across the board and be understandable to the people.
