According to the RKI situation report from Saturday evening, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was 1.06 (previous day: 1.05).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 106 more people.
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.
According to the RKI, three Saxon districts have the
highest corona incidences nationwide
.
The Bautzen district was in the lead on Saturday with a seven-day incidence of 674.9.
This was followed by the district of Görlitz with 623.2 and the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains with 615.3.
The Bautzen district itself had already reported an incidence of 711 on Friday.
The values differ due to different times for updating the statistics.
Saxony has been the state with the highest corona infection rates for weeks.
According to the RKI, the incidence increased from Friday to Saturday to 432.2 now.
That is more than twice as high as the national average.

India
has
exceeded ten million people infected with coronavirus.
That emerges from the data published on Saturday by the Indian Ministry of Health.
However, the increase in both the number of infected and the number of fatalities appears to be slowing.
According to the information, 27,022 new infections have been registered since Friday - the total number rose to 10,004,893.
The number of deaths rose by 338 to 144,789 within 24 hours.
According to official information, the number of corona deaths
in
Russia
has risen above the 50,000 mark.
After 585 new deaths, the number was 50,347 on Saturday, according to government authorities in Moscow.
In addition, there were 28,209 new infections.
According to media reports, however, the death rate from the Russian national statistical office was significantly higher than the government's figures.
Accordingly, the government continues to show only those cases in which Covid-19 is named as the cause of death.
Experts had stated that in many cases there was an infection with the coronavirus, but another cause of death was named on the death certificate.
According to a report in the newspaper “RBK”, the statistics office has temporarily stopped recording causes of death since April, but lists all deaths with corona infections.
Accordingly, the excess mortality in the pandemic is over 13 percent.
Despite the high numbers, there is no lockdown in Russia.
