+++ 05:55 RKI reports a value of 65.8 – 7-day incidence continues to increase +++
German health authorities reported 4,732 new coronavirus infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in one day. In addition, 60 more deaths were recorded in 24 hours. This is evident in the RKI figures. Exactly a week ago, the RKI had recorded 4,369 new infections and 62 new deaths in one day. On Monday, the number of cases reported by the RKI is usually lower, not least because fewer tests are done on weekends.
According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported in seven days per 100,000 population (seven-day incidence) was 65.8 nationwide on Monday morning and therefore higher than the day before ( 63.8). Four weeks ago, on February 1, the incidence had been 91. Its previous peak was reached on December 22 at 197.6.
Note: The RKI figures generally differ slightly from the case data that ntv.de reports daily at night. The data team of ntv.de has direct access to the registration figures of the federal states, published by the ministries and local authorities. The RKI, on the other hand, is linked to legally prescribed reporting channels, which can lead to a delay.
In addition, the respective daily values map different recording periods: the ntv assessment collects the country information published at night and uses it to calculate a daily status of the number of reported cases, which is generally published as of 8 pm The RKI’s recording system, on the other hand, takes into account incoming reports up to midnight, and the current status of the data is announced the next morning.
