The German health authorities
reported
12,892
new corona infections
within 24 hours
.
In addition,
852
more deaths were recorded, as the
Robert Koch Institute
(RKI) announced on Tuesday.
However, these numbers are only partially comparable with the values of the previous week, as the RKI expected a lower number of tests and fewer reports from the health authorities at the turn of the year.
Still, the number of deaths a week ago was lower, at 731 cases.
A high of 952 deaths was recorded on December 16.
The number of new infections was
19,528
a week
ago
.
The number of vaccinations that had already been carried out was also announced: by Tuesday morning (8 am)
41,962
Germans received a syringe.

According to the RKI report on Monday, the
nationwide
seven-day R value
was 0.74 (Sunday: 0.83).
This R value means that 100 infected people infect 74 other 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.
In its report, however, the RKI emphasizes that during the holidays and at the turn of the year, corona cases are only displayed, recorded and transmitted with a delay, "so that the R value may also be underestimated".

Coronavirus numbers worldwide
New corona infections in
Great Britain
continue to rise steeply.
On Tuesday, the authorities recorded a record 53,135 new cases.
It was only on Monday that they reported the highest daily increase since the start of the pandemic, with 41,385 new infections.
The rate per 100,000 inhabitants rose to 381.5.
On the one hand, this could be related to a delayed testing due to the Christmas holidays - but also to the mutation B.1.1.7 that occurred in England, which makes the virus more contagious.
Due to the rapidly increasing corona infections,
the pandemic measures
in
South Africa
are being tightened again significantly.
Among other things, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
In South Africa, the number of new corona infections has increased in an "alarming and unprecedented way," said Ramaphosa.
A new variant of the virus, in particular, is spreading quickly and appears to be more contagious than the original variant.
The medical staff is already exhausted and has difficulties facing the second wave, although the climax is still pending.
