New corona virus infections are not decreasing. An extremely high number of cases were again reported in Germany. The replay value is also increasing again.
In Germany, the number of new corona virus infections has risen by 11,242 in 24 hours, according to the Robert Koch Institute. The number of deaths increased by 49 to 9,954. The number is comparable to the record level of 11,287 cases the day before and is well above the 7,334 new infections reported on Friday last week. Therefore, the current values are higher than those of the spring, but they are only comparable up to a point because many more tests are now being done and therefore more infections are being discovered.
According to experts, recently reported infections are an indication of how strong the virus was in society about a week ago due to the time between infection, test, result, and report. So it will take some time before the policy measures are reflected in the registration figures.
Ten infected people infected eleven other people
According to the RKI, at least 403,291 people in Germany have been shown to have been infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus since the beginning of the Corona crisis. According to RKI estimates, around 310,200 are currently recovered.
According to RKI’s management report, the number of views, or R-value for short, was 1.11 in Germany (previous day: 1.09). This means that ten infected people infect eleven other people. The R value represents the infection rate approximately one and a half weeks earlier.
In addition, the RKI includes the so-called seven-day R in its management report. The value refers to a longer period of time and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value is now 1.23 (previous day: 1.17). It shows the infection process from 8 to 16 days ago.
