05.35 am: The seven-day incidence in Germany has risen to 135.2. That comes from figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from Tuesday morning. The day before, the RKI had reported 134.4 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week. At the beginning of March, the value was still below 70. Data reflects the state of the RKI dashboard as of 5:20 am, subsequent changes or additions to the RKI are possible.
After the number of new infections dropped significantly in the running of the bulls in mid-February, the number of infections rose again dramatically, which experts also attribute to the widespread spread of more contagious variants.
German health authorities, with the exception of Baden-Württemberg, reported 9,549 new corona infections to the RKI in one day. In addition, 180 new deaths were recorded in 24 hours. That comes from the RKI numbers for Tuesday. Exactly a week ago, the RKI had recorded 7,485 new infections and 250 new deaths in one day. The RKI has counted 2,791,822 infections detected with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected. The RKI stated the number of people who had recovered at around 2,507,900. The total number of people who died with or with a proven Sars-CoV-2 infection increased to 76,093.
According to RKI’s management report on Monday night, the seven-day R-value nationwide was 1.10 (previous day: 1.17). This means that, theoretically, 100 infected people infect 110 more people. The value represents the onset of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides; if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.
