The number of active cases is falling again!
German health authorities reported 1,256 new corona infections in one day. An estimated 1,500 people have recovered in the last 24 hours.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced this on its website Wednesday morning (data status 2.9., 0am)
▶ ︎ Since the beginning of the Corona crisis, at least 244,855 people in Germany have been shown to be infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus.
According to the RKI, the number of deaths related to a corona infection is 9,313. Eleven more deaths have been reported since the previous day. According to RKI estimates, around 219,100 people had survived the infection by Wednesday morning.
The number of active cases in Germany is around 16,400.
The R value
According to estimates by RKI in Germany, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 0.80 (previous day: 0.84) according to a statement Wednesday night. This means that an infected person infects less than another 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 on 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 0.91 (previous day: 0.89). It shows the infection process for eight to 16 days.
How Counties Meet Limit Values
In order to react in time to new spreads, the federal and state governments have established an upper limit of corona for new infections. There are 50 new infections for every 100,000 inhabitants 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 numbers from Johns Hopkins University to 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 shaping all of our lives with its figures, research, 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.
