The German health authorities

reported

6729

new corona infections to

the Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

within one day.

In addition,

217

new deaths were recorded within 24 hours, as the RKI announced on Monday morning.

Last Monday there were 7141 new infections and 214 new deaths, but at that time the data from Rhineland-Palatinate was only incomplete.

The number of cases recorded is usually lower on Mondays, among other things because fewer tests are carried out on the weekend.

According to the RKI situation report on Sunday evening, the nationwide seven-day R-value was

1.01

(previous day also

1.01

).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 101 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.

USA and Spain - German government classifies 25 countries as "high-risk areas"

display

Because of the particularly high number of corona infections, the federal government has been classifying

25 countries

as high-risk areas for the

first time since Sunday

, for which even stricter entry rules apply than for the previous and still existing "risk areas".

The list can be found on the RKI website: This includes the Czech Republic, Portugal, Spain and Egypt, Israel, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and the USA.

Entry from these "high incidence areas" is only possible with a negative corona test.

The test may have been carried out at least 48 hours before entry.

In addition, as with the countries classified as "risk areas", those entering the country have to go into a ten-day quarantine.

The Greek region of Attica around the capital Athens, on the other hand, is one of the very few European regions no longer considered a risk area - if you travel from there to Germany, no quarantine is necessary.

In

New Zealand

,

known for its successful fight against the corona pandemic

, a locally transmitted case of infection has been confirmed for the first time since November.

The health authorities in the island nation in the South Pacific announced that it was a 56-year-old woman who stayed in a quarantine hotel in Auckland for two weeks after returning from Europe.

There she was tested negative for the virus twice.

It was only after she returned to her home region of Northland on the North Island that she showed symptoms and tested positive, it said.

The virus is the new, more contagious virus mutation from South Africa, confirmed the Minister for Covid-19 Control, Chris Hipkins.

The woman apparently got infected from another person in the quarantine hotel.
