Basically, the interpretation of the data is currently difficult because around Christmas and the turn of the year corona cases were discovered, recorded and transmitted with a delay according to the RKI.

“In the last few days the number of cases has increased again.

Whether this trend will continue beyond the expected follow-up tests and late registrations will only become apparent in the course of the next few days, ”the RKI announced at the weekend.

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

1.14

(previous day:

1.18

).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 114 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.

display

For the first time in months, the number of intensive care beds occupied by Covid 19 patients in Germany has fallen for days.

This comes from the data of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI), to which the numbers are reported daily by the hospitals.

Accordingly, the previous high was reached on January 3rd with 5762 occupied beds - since then there have been fewer and fewer.

According to the Divi central register, 5210 intensive care patients are registered around lunchtime.

In contrast to the information on new infections, the number of intensive care beds occupied by Covid 19 patients is independent of the weekly rhythm.

How many people were newly infected with the pathogen is not immediately clear on and after weekends due to the delay in data transfer.

On the other hand, the number of intensive care beds occupied cannot provide any reliable information about the course of the pandemic.

The rate of occupied beds can fluctuate for various reasons - for example, because the average treatment duration for intensive care patients changes.

Notwithstanding a third corona lockdown, the number of infections in

Israel has

climbed to a new high.

The Israeli Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that 9,589 new cases had been registered within 24 hours.

This is the highest level since the pandemic began.

Overall, the number of people infected so far in the country exceeded half a million.

The proportion of positive tests was 7.6 percent.

An intensive vaccination campaign has been running in Israel for more than three weeks.

With 1.8 million, more than 20 percent of citizens have already been vaccinated against the coronavirus.

In total, the small Mediterranean country has more than nine million inhabitants.

The government wants to vaccinate all residents of the country who are older than 16 years by the end of March.

Israel hopes that the number of 1,027 seriously ill people will fall soon because of the restrictions and the vaccination campaign.

More than two-thirds of people over 60 in the country have already received their first dose of vaccine.

This week, all teachers are also to be vaccinated.

According to information from Oxford researchers, no other country is vaccinated against corona as quickly as in Israel.

A graphic on the website “Our World in Data” compares different countries according to the number of doses administered per 100 inhabitants.

There Israel was clearly ahead on Monday with 21.38 cans per 100 inhabitants.

It is followed by the United Arab Emirates with 11.8.

That is how many doses of vaccine have already been distributed per 100 inhabitants in the individual countries
