The number of active corona cases has continued to increase in Germany. Now it is around 31,000.
As announced by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), 310,144 people have been infected with the corona virus in Germany since the pandemic began (data as of October 8 at 12 am). Based on this, an additional 4,058 new infections were reported in 24 hours.
A total of 9,578 people died as a result of disease in Germany. Another 16 deaths occurred in one day. The number of people who have recovered is around 269,600 (about 2,000 more than the previous day).
The R value
According to RKI estimates in Germany, according to Tuesday’s management report, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.10 (previous day: 1.15). This means that one infected person infects more than one other person on average. The R value represents the infection rate approximately one and a half weeks earlier.
Additionally, the RKI gives a seven-day R call in its current status report. The value refers to a longer period and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value was 1.11 (previous day: 1.08). It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago.
Hot spots
According to the Robert Koch Institute, in several places in Germany the specified limit of 50 infections per 100,000 inhabitants is exceeded in seven days.

How common is Corona around the world?
The private Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA) determines the world number of corona cases. If you compare the German figures from Johns Hopkins University with those from the RKI, the RKI appears to be lagging behind in registering new corona cases. Reason: Both institutions determine the number of cases in different ways.
This is how the RKI works
As the independent federal authority for infectious diseases, the Robert Koch Institute is currently determining all of our lives with its figures, examinations, and the knowledge gained from them.
People with 90 different professions from 50 countries work there. Of the 1,296 employees, 1,224 are in Berlin and 72 in the Wernigerode branch. The Berlin 24/7 Situation Center alone has 150 employees.
