According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), 962 people in Germany have died in connection with Covid 19 disease in the last 24 hours, more than ever in this period since the outbreak of the pandemic in Germany.
Health authorities reported 24,740 new infections with the pathogen to the RKI since yesterday. That’s about 5,000 more cases than the day before and about 3,000 fewer than a week ago. However, the state of Saxony did not send figures to the institute on Tuesday of last week.
According to the RKI, the so-called seven-day incidence has dropped somewhat: to 195.1 from 197.6 the last. The value indicates how many new infections occur per 100,000 inhabitants in a week.

As of yesterday alone, local health authorities have reported an additional 2,727 corona infections. More than 16,800 residents were infected in one week. The largest access point in Saxony is the Bautzen district with an incidence of 602.2 in seven days.
