On the first day of the new year, the German health authorities reported
12,690
new corona infections.
In addition,
336
new deaths were recorded within 24 hours, as the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) announced on Saturday morning.
However, it is difficult to interpret the data at the moment because fewer people are likely to be tested during the Christmas holidays and around the turn of the year and not all offices may transmit their data.
According to the RKI, this can result in late registrations.
A week
ago
, on Christmas Day,
14,455 new
corona infections and
240
deaths were registered.
The high of
1129
new deaths was reached on Wednesday (December 30th).

141.2
on Saturday morning
.
Its previous high was reached on December 22nd at

.
The differences between the federal states, however, are enormous: the highest incidences were on Friday, New Year's Day, Saxony with

According to the RKI report on Thursday, the nationwide seven-day R-value was
0.80
(Tuesday:
0.68
),
the most recent due to New Year's Day
.
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".
Coronavirus numbers worldwide
The new, more contagious virus variant
B.1.1.7
continues to spread
in
Denmark
.
According to information from Saturday, the variant has now
been detected
in
86
people, said the "Statens Serum Institute", a research facility of the Danish Ministry of Health.

This means that the new virus type makes up
0.8 percent of
all around 10,300 samples whose genome has been examined by the institute in the past six weeks.
However, the proportion of B.1.1.7 cases increased week by week, to
2.3 percent of
all samples examined in calendar
week
52.
The “Statens Serum Institute” then knows that the researchers examined only 11 percent of all new infections discovered in Denmark and thus already occupy a leading position in a country comparison.
The actual number of people infected with the new virus type is therefore likely to be higher.
In Germany, the RKI received isolated cases of this variant.
