According to the RKI report on Monday, the

nationwide

seven-day R value

was

0.85

(Sunday: 0.91).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 85 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.

The RKI emphasizes, however, that the R-value could possibly be underestimated because of the delays.
