In Germany, health authorities reported 23,648 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in 24 hours. As a result, a high was reached on Friday, as the RKI information in the morning shows. On Friday a week ago, the previous peak was reached with 23,542 registered cases. Compared to Thursday, the number of new cases reported increased by about 1,000 on Friday.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted a total of 879,564 infections detected with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany (as of November 20, 00:00). The number of deaths related to the virus rose from 260 to 13,630 as of Friday.
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.
