Suburb –

Colonia risk zone: the number of incidents in the city continued to increase on Thursday morning (October 22) and once again exceeded the maximum on Wednesday: with a value of 111.7, Cologne again broke the 100 mark .

On Wednesday, the value was in the triple-digit range for the first time (104.5). On Tuesday the value was still at 97.8. Cologne is more than double the value (50) in which a city or district is classified as a risk zone.

On Monday (October 19) the incidence value was 75.4 and on Sunday it was 83.7.

Corona Colonia risk zone: the incidence value rises to more than 100

However, the significant drop in the values ​​on Monday can be explained because the values ​​in the RKI are calculated automatically. Since the Cologne figures were available on Sunday but have not yet been incorporated by the LZG (Landeszentrum Gesundheit NRW), the day is included in the preliminary statistics with zero cases and consequently pushes the incidence value down.

According to the RKI, there are (as of Thursday morning) 7,675 documented corona cases in Cologne, exactly 256 more than the city reported on Wednesday.

According to city figures, a total of 1,350 people were infected with Corona in Cologne on Wednesday (October 21). 132 patients were in hospital treatment. In general, the 7419th case was now known. Two other deceased people were reported, one 64 years old and one 62 years old, both with previous illnesses. This means that 135 Cologne residents with a positive corona test have died.
