The Robert Koch Institute has once again set a new record. The health authorities reported 33,777 infections to the RKI in one day. The death toll reached 813, the second highest in history.
For the first time in Germany, more than 30,000 new infections with the coronavirus were registered in one day. Health authorities have reported 33,777 infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), as announced by the RKI. The number includes 3,500 late registrations from Baden-Württemberg that had not been shipped the day before for technical reasons.
After deducting late reports, 30,277 new infections were reported in 24 hours. The death toll reached 813, the second highest since the pandemic began. Last Friday, the highest number of new infections was reached with 29,875. The death toll was 598. On Wednesday there was a maximum of 952 deaths.
The trend in the number of daily deaths had recently increased, which was also expected after the sharp increase in new infections. The total number of people who died with or with a proven Sars-CoV-2 infection rose to 24,938 as of Friday.
Incidence from 7 days to 184.8
The seven-day incidence, which is crucial to assess the situation, new infections reported per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days, increased and peaked at 184.8. On Thursday the value was 179.2. The RKI has counted 1,439,938 infections detected with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the start of the pandemic. Around 1,069,400 people are estimated to have recovered.
The seven-day R-value nationwide was 0.97 (previous day 0.98) according to RKI’s management report on Thursday night. This means that 100 infected people infect 97 more people. However, the RKI expressly notes that the value can only be used to a limited extent due to pending data transfers. The value represents the onset of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. Only when it is below 1 for a longer period does it decrease.
