the nationwide seven-day incidence has fallen for the second day in a row – although the meaningfulness of the data is currently limited. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Monday morning 1459.8 on. The day before, the value had fallen for the first time since the end of December and was 1466.5. It is difficult to judge whether this really means a turnaround in the infection process in Germany. It could also be that the decline in incidence does not reflect the actual occurrence of infection, but is the result of an overloaded reporting and testing system.
The fact that some people do not have their positive self-test or rapid test clarified with a PCR test could also play a role. They will then not appear in the statistics. A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1426.0 (previous month: 470.6). The health authorities in Germany reported to the RKI within one day 76,465 new corona infections. This is evident from numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 5 a.m. A week ago there were 95,267 infections.
According to the new information, Germany was within 24 hours 42 deaths listed. A week ago there were 49 deaths. The RKI has counted 12,421,126 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected.
The number of Corona infected people who came to clinics Patients per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days were reported by the RKI on Monday 5.93 (Friday: 6.46). These may also include people with a positive corona test who have another main illness. No data on hospital admissions will be published at the weekend. The RKI gave the number of recovered people on Monday as 8,838,800. The number of people who died from or involved a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 119,977.
