The crown reproduction rate in Germany has risen above the critical mark 1 again. The Robert Koch Institute reports in a current status report.
The crown pandemic in Germany may gain momentum again: according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the infection rate for the new crown virus has risen above the critical mark 1 in Germany. The so-called replay number with data from May 9 at 0:00 is 1.10, as the RKI writes in a situation report released on Saturday night.
The RKI has repeatedly emphasized that for the epidemic to subside, the number of reproductions must be less than 1. The RKi had estimated it at 0.83 on Friday. The number of reproductions indicates how many people a person infected with a pathogen infects during their illness.
“Monitor developments carefully”
In view of the statistical fluctuations, which would be exacerbated by the relatively low number of infected people, the RKI cannot say “whether the trend of new infections, which has decreased in recent weeks, has continued or whether the number of cases has increased again. ” . In any case, the increase in the estimated number of reproductions made it “necessary to observe development very carefully in the coming days”.
The federal government and federal states announced a powerful reduction in crown requirements on Wednesday, which will vary in size and speed depending on the federal state. For some people, this does not go far enough. Demonstrations against Corona’s requirements took place in several German cities on Saturday.
What exactly does the value say and how is it calculated? t-online.de explained here details the meaning of the play number.
