Nießen also pointed out that not all positive rapid tests were checked with a PCR test. “We are also observing a more relaxed approach to corona, not everyone with cold symptoms can be tested for corona, hardly any vaccinated people are tested and 3G only applies in a few areas. This causes the dark field to become larger,” he said. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the seven-day incidence on Wednesday as 688.3, the number of new infections within one day as 198,583.
Union faction vice Sepp Müller brought up a changed reporting strategy for new infections. “In my opinion, one status quo report per week during the summer would be sufficient,” Müller told RND. “For two years, the health authorities have been beyond the limit of what they can do. The Bundeswehr is no longer extending its official assistance, which I can understand.” A weekly report during the summer would relieve the offices.
It is already the case that individual federal states do not report data every day of the week, at the weekend for example Baden-Württemberg, Lower Saxony, Brandenburg and Saxony not or not completely. This in turn leads to late registrations on the following days. A comparison of daily values is therefore becoming increasingly difficult.
