Once again, the Robert Koch Institute reports a record number of new corona infections. Almost 15,000 infected people were registered in one day. This means that the value has almost doubled in a week.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, health authorities reported 14,964 new corona infections in one day, a record since the pandemic began. On Wednesday a week ago, the number was 7,595.
14,714 new infections were recorded on Saturday, the highest level since the start of the corona pandemic in Germany. The values are currently only partially comparable to those of the spring, as many more tests are now underway and more infections are being discovered as a result.
85 new deaths
The total number of corona cases in Germany in the morning is 464,239. The number of deaths increased by 85 to 10,183.
The number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days was 93.6 nationwide. On Wednesday a week ago, the RKI had reported an incidence of 51.5 cases. According to the RKI, about 70 percent of districts have an incidence of more than 50.
R value at 1.17
According to RKI’s situation report on Tuesday, the number of views, or the R-value for short, was 1.17 (Monday: 1.37) in Germany. This means that ten infected people infect almost twelve more 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.
