According to the RKI situation report on Wednesday evening, the

nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

0.83

(previous day: 0.82).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 83 more people.

The R-value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.

If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides;

if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.

In three federal states -

Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein

- the 7-day incidence is now below 100. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg and Berlin are close to reaching this mark.

,

, where positive developments only become noticeable after a few delays, the situation seems to be at least stabilizing.

On Wednesday the number of patients treated was

4838

cases (previous day 4955), here too the curve has been tending downwards since the end of April.
