According to the RKI management report on Tuesday, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
0.94
(previous day 1.01).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 94 more people.
The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.
If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides;
if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.

Corona in Europe
The approximately
400
intensive care beds in the greater
Athens area
are
93 percent
occupied.
Accordingly, there are only
26
free beds available
for the approximately four million inhabitants
, as the news channel Skai reported on Tuesday.
For comparison: According to the Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (Divi), there are 1148 intensive care beds in Berlin, which is only slightly smaller in terms of population, of which 1008 are occupied.

The greater Athens area and many other areas in
Greece
have been in a tough lockdown for weeks, but this has not reduced the number of new infections as much as hoped.
According to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, it is therefore rather unlikely that the lockdown will be lifted at the weekend.
On Monday, the health authority
reported
1176
new infections
nationwide
.
So far, according to government
information, a
good
920,000
people have been vaccinated.
That's about
8.5 percent of
the population.
According to official figures, more than

In
Ukraine
, President Volodymyr Selenskyj had himself vaccinated against the corona virus on Tuesday.
According to the Ministry of Health, almost
5,000
people have been vaccinated
since the vaccination campaign began six days ago
.
The country decided not to use the Russian vaccine Sputnik V because of the annexation of Crimea.
So far, more than
1.3 million
corona infections and more than
26,000
deaths have been recorded in
Ukraine

Corona worldwide
display
The number of new infections in the
USA
has fallen sharply since the beginning of the year - from over
200,000
per day to an average
of over
60,000
.
However, the head of the US health authority CDC warned on Monday against prematurely lifting the corona requirements.
Texas announced on Tuesday that the mask requirement would be lifted.
In
Brazil
, a sad record was set with more than 1,600 corona deaths in just one day.
The health authorities of the South American country reported 1,641 deaths from Covid-19 within 24 hours on Tuesday.
The number of corona deaths reported in Brazil since the beginning of the pandemic rose to 257,361.
There are more corona deaths only in the USA.
The Ministry of Health in Brasília also reported more than 59,900 new corona infections on Tuesday.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, 10.6 million cases of infection have been detected in the country.
However, experts assume a very high number of unreported cases.
According to experts, the reason for the recent increase in infections is, among other things, the celebrations for the Brazilian Carnival.
Assembly bans apply in individual Brazilian states and major cities.
However, there are no national exit restrictions as in other countries.
The number of new Covid-19 cases
increased
by
7 percent
worldwide last week
.
The World Health Organization (WHO) published figures for the first increase after six weeks of decline in Geneva on Tuesday evening.
Accordingly,
2.6 million cases were reported
to the UN agency in Geneva
in the last week of February
.
This development could have to do with the spread of more contagious virus variants, the WHO wrote in a report.
As other possible reasons, she named the relaxation of health measures and corona fatigue.
The strongest weekly increase was in the Middle East (
14 percent
), followed by Southeast Asia (
9 percent
), Europe (
9 percent
) and the American continent (
6 percent
).
In contrast, almost a quarter fewer cases were reported from Africa than in the previous week.
In the West Pacific region with East Asia and Australia, the numbers fell slightly.
