reported
8,103
new corona infections to
the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day
.
In addition,
96
new deaths were recorded
within 24 hours
.
That comes from the numbers of the RKI from Sunday.
On Sunday, the number of cases reported by the RKI is usually lower, among other things because fewer tests are carried out on the weekend.
Exactly one week ago, the RKI had recorded
7,890
new infections and

According to the RKI, the
number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (
seven-day incidence
) was
66.1
nationwide on Sunday morning
- and thus slightly higher than the previous day (65.6).
The number of new infections in Germany fell significantly for weeks in January and February.
Recently, however, it stagnated, which could also be due to the spread of more contagious variants.

According to the RKI situation report on Saturday, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
1.06
(previous day 1.04).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 106 more people.
The value represents the occurrence of the infection eight 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.
So far corona-free New Caledonia reports the first infections
display
In the French overseas territory of
New Caledonia
, which has been
spared the coronavirus for a long time
, nine infections with the pathogen have been detected.
New Caledonia's President Thierry Santa announced a two-week lockdown on Sunday, due to come into effect on Monday evening.
The goal is to "interrupt the transmission of the virus while there is still time," said Santa in front of journalists.
According to the authorities, the source of the infection was discovered through tests carried out after the illness of a school principal in the nearby French overseas territory of Wallis and Funtuna.
The teacher developed the first Covid-19 symptoms in mid-February and may have been contagious by the end of January, Santa said.
The patient is in serious condition.
He may be flown from Wallis and Funtuna to the New Caledonian capital Nouméa for treatment.
The South Pacific island groups New Caledonia and Wallis and Funtuna in northwest Australia were until recently among the few areas in the world where not a single domestic corona case had been recorded.
Corona in Europe
display
Despite lockdown,
Hungary
reported a new high of 7269 new corona infections on Saturday.
That is 14 percent more cases than on Friday, as the authorities say.
The country with around ten million inhabitants has one of the highest infection and death rates in the world.
Recently, the numbers rose rapidly despite a partial lockdown.
The health authorities pointed to the spread of the British and South African mutants, which are considered more contagious.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government speaks of a “very strong third wave” and has therefore recently tightened the lockdown that has been in place since mid-November.
Now most of the shops have to close and the primary schools are also switching to homeschooling.

the Chinese Sinovac vaccine to Ecuador and Paraguay, as reported on Saturday.
This is announced by the governments of the two South American countries.
The donation underscores the strong differences between Latin American countries in fighting the pandemic.
Richer Chile has already vaccinated a quarter of its population with at least one dose.
In Ecuador and Paraguay, on the other hand, vaccinations are progressing very slowly.
