So

far,

238,809

people

in Germany have been

vaccinated

against the coronavirus.

Compared to the previous day, the number of vaccinated

persons

registered at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) increased by

40,665

.

This number corresponds to the status on Sunday morning.

Since it can also receive late registrations, it does not reflect the number of people actually vaccinated on Saturday, emphasizes the RKI.

103,894 nursing home residents were among those vaccinated.

107,019 people received the vaccination for work-related reasons, including medical and elderly care workers.

A total of 56,197 people were vaccinated because of their old age over 80 years.

In a comparison of the federal states,

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is

ahead

with

715 vaccinations per 100,000 inhabitants

.

Saxony-Anhalt (584), Hesse (478) and Bavaria (441) follow.

North Rhine-Westphalia as the most populous federal state has been able to administer the vaccine to 271 out of 100,000 citizens.

Lower Saxony

is at the

bottom

with

62 vaccinations per 100,000 inhabitants

.

Germany

has an average of

287 vaccinations per 100,000 inhabitants

.

For comparison: According to Oxford researchers, Israel, the world's leading nation, has already administered over 12,500 vaccinations per 100,000 inhabitants, i.e. more than 40 times as many as in Germany.

Great Britain was able to carry out 1,390 vaccinations per 100,000 inhabitants - about four times as many as in the Federal Republic.

The RKI also announced in the morning that the German health authorities had reported

10,315

new corona infections within one day.

In addition,

312

new deaths were recorded within 24 hours.

Interpretation of the data is currently difficult, however, 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 may result in late registrations.

The number of new infections reported to the health authorities within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) was

139.6

on Sunday morning

.

Its previous high was reached on December 22nd at

.

The differences between the federal states are still large: Saxony has the highest incidences with

329.7

and Thuringia with

248.9

.

Schleswig-Holstein shows the lowest value with

77.4

.

The RKI has counted

1,765,666

detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany

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

0.95

.

This R value means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 95 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 discovered, recorded and transmitted with a delay, "so that the R-value may be underestimated".

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.

The number of new infections reported in the

UK

reached a

new

record on Saturday.

More than

57,700

cases have been reported in the country in a 24-hour period,

more than

ever before.

At the same time,

445

new deaths were registered.

The number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days is now almost 400 nationwide. The value comes from December 28th.

Many of the new infections are attributed to the new virus variant B.1.1.7, which is particularly rampant in London and the south-east and east of England.

A total of

1.5 million

doses of the

“Sputnik V”

vaccine

were delivered to the various regions of the country, Health Minister Michail Muraschko said on Saturday, according to the Tass agency.

When the mass vaccination started a few weeks ago, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin had expected around two million doses for December alone.

But Russia has problems producing the vaccine in large quantities.
