reThe number of new coronavirus infections in Germany has reached the highest level since April. In one day, German health authorities reported 2507 new corona infections, as the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced on Saturday morning. As of Friday, the number of recently reported corona cases was 2,153.
According to RKI information from Saturday morning, at least 282,730 people in Germany have been shown to have been infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus since the beginning of the Corona crisis. According to the RKI, the number of deaths related to a corona infection is 9,452. That is 9 more than the day before. According to RKI estimates, around 249,700 people survived the infection.
The peak of new infections reported daily was over 6,000 in late March / early April. Then the number tended to decline and rose again in July. In August, the number of cases was just over 2000 (2034). The number of new infections found also depends on how many people get tested.
According to RKI estimates in Germany, based on Friday’s management report, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 0.91 (previous day: 0.78). This means that an infected person infects slightly less than another person on average. The R value represents the infection rate approximately one and a half weeks earlier. Also, the RKI gives a seven-day R-value, which is less subject to daily fluctuations. It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago and was the last at 1.01 (previous day: 0.97). Consequently, an infected person infects another person on average.
