The health authorities in Germany
reported
24,097
new corona infections to
the
Robert Koch Institute
(RKI) within one day
.
In addition,
246
new deaths were recorded
within 24 hours
.
That comes from the numbers of the RKI from Saturday morning.
Because of the bank holidays and school vacations, the RKI's corona numbers may not yet be comparable with the values before Easter.
A week ago, the RKI had recorded 18,129 new infections and 120 new deaths within one day.
According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was
120.6
nationwide on Saturday morning
.
The day before, the RKI gave this seven-day incidence at 110.4; a week ago it was over 130. The incidence value is currently to be treated with caution and is likely to be too low due to fewer tests and reports over Easter.

The RKI expects the incidence value to be reliable again in the course of the coming week.
On Friday, RKI President Lothar Wieler emphasized in Berlin that there was already enough additional data that would provide information about the actual situation.
"Unfortunately, this development shows that the situation is very, very serious." According to data from around 70 clinics nationwide, more and more and younger people have to be treated in hospitals for severe respiratory infections.
The intensive care units filled rapidly.
The RKI has counted
2,980,413
detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany
since the beginning of the pandemic
.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher since many infections are not detected.
The RKI
stated the
number of those who had
recovered
at
around
2,661,500
.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to
78,249
.
The nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
0.90
according to the RKI situation report from Friday evening
(previous day: 0.80).
This means that 100 infected people infect 90 more people.
"The 7-day R-value is currently below 1, whereby the influence of the Easter holidays must be taken into account," writes the RKI.
The values could only be evaluated in a few days.
The R-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.
If it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.
