Crown reproduction rate rises above 1 again



[ad_1]

For the second consecutive day, the crown reproduction rate in Germany is growing. Branding is also an important criterion when it comes to relaxing the crown requirements.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the rate of virus infection in Germany increased again for the second consecutive day above the critical value of “1”. The RKI announced on Sunday night in its current management report that the reproduction rate (R) is currently estimated at 1.13, after 1.1 on Saturday. Statistically, each infected person infects more than one person, and the number of cases would increase again.

However, when interpreting, it should be noted that the estimate is associated with uncertainty as usual, explains the RKI. Therefore, it is not yet possible to assess whether the trend of new infections, which has been declining in recent weeks, has continued or whether there has been an increase again. The increase in R makes it necessary to monitor developments very carefully in the coming days.

RKI chief Lothar Wieler had repeatedly said that a rate below 1.0 was very important. Chancellor Angela Merkel had emphasized that branding was also an important criterion in relaxing crown requirements.

Here are the latest numbers:

Nationwide, more than 171,767 coronavirus infections had been reported on Sunday night (as of 11 p.m.). According to Johns Hopkins University researchers, at least 7,557 people infected with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 have so far died across the country.

According to RKI estimates, around 144,400 people survived the infection in Germany. As for other countries, experts also expect a large number of unreported cases in Germany.

These are the countries with particularly high numbers.

According to federal state statistics, Bavaria has a particularly high number of registered infections with more than 44,600 cases and at least 2,167 deaths, North Rhine-Westphalia with more than 34,900 cases and at least 1,424 deaths, and Baden-Württemberg with more than 33,200 confirmed cases and at least 1,542 deaths. The time a new daily status is reported varies from state to state.

Based on 100,000 inhabitants, Bavaria has the highest number of infections with a value of 341.3. The national average was 204.3. However, the number of tests carried out per 100,000 inhabitants varies in the federal states.
