The
seven-day incidence
in Germany has
risen
to
135.2
.
That comes from figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from Tuesday morning.
The day before, the RKI had reported 134.4 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week.
At the beginning of March the value was still below 70.
After the number of new infections fell significantly in lockdown by around mid-February, the number of infections recently rose sharply again - which experts also attribute to the widespread spread of more contagious variants.
The health authorities in Germany, with the exception of Baden-Württemberg, reported
9549 new corona infections to
the RKI within one day
.
In addition,
180 new deaths were
recorded
within 24 hours
.
That comes from the figures of the RKI from Tuesday.
Exactly one week ago, the RKI had recorded 7,485 new infections and 250 new deaths within one day.

The RKI has counted 2,791,822 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 2,507,900.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 76,093.
According to the RKI management report from Monday evening, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
1.10
(previous day: 1.17).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 110 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.
Thuringia remains the worst affected with a 7-day incidence of 237.5.
A week ago the value was 166.6.
Within Thuringia - but also throughout Germany - the district of Greiz is the district most severely affected by the pandemic with an incidence of 609.9.
