The lowest seven-day incidence in Germany is found in the independent city of

Schweinfurt

On Saturday, the seven-day incidence - the number of cases per 100,000 population in seven days - fell below ten for the first time.

In November the incidence had been over 200.

In

Tirschenreuth

,

Bavaria

,

the highest seven-day incidence in Germany was found

at

309.5

.

Schweinfurt's Lord Mayor Sebastian Remelé (CSU) justified the low incidence in an interview with the “Tagesspiegel” with the age structure of the city.

“Many people in Schweinfurt live in nursing homes or old people's homes.

If there are high numbers there, the statistics naturally spoil you.

It was like that a few months ago, ”he explained.

"Now the homes are vaccinated and the numbers are correspondingly low."

The nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

0.84

according to the RKI situation report from Tuesday evening

(previous day 0.86).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 84 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.
