In Germany, more than 20,000 new coronavirus infections were recorded in one day. As the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced in the morning, citing information from the health authorities, 20,200 new cases of infection were registered in 24 hours. Last Sunday around 17,700 new infections were registered. According to the RKI, the number of deaths per crown increased in one day by 321 to a total of 21,787.
