The German health authorities

reported

22,924 new

corona infections to

the Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

within 24 hours.

In addition,

553

new deaths were recorded, as the RKI announced on Friday morning.

Interpretation of the data is currently difficult because fewer people are likely to be tested during the holidays and around the turn of the year and not all offices may transmit their data.

According to the RKI, this can lead to late registrations.

A week

ago

,

25,533 new

corona infections and

412

deaths were registered within 24 hours.

The high of

1129

new deaths was reached on Wednesday (December 30th).

According to the RKI report on Thursday, the nationwide seven-day R-value was

0.80

(Tuesday:

0.68

).

This R value means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 80 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.

In its report, however, the RKI emphasizes that 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".
