According to RKI’s situation report on Thursday night, the so-called seven-day R was 0.99 (previous day: 0.95). This means that, in theory, 100 infected people infect 99 more people. The value represents the onset of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
