According to the RKI situation report on Friday, the

so-called

seven-day R

was 1.05 (previous day: 0.99).

This means that, on average, every person who is infected with SARS-CoV-2 infects approximately one more person.

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

If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
