According to the RKI management report on Wednesday evening, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
1.00
(previous day 1.04).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 100 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.
