The health authorities in Germany have the
Robert Koch Institute
(RKI) within one day
6885
reported Corona infections.
In addition, 90 new deaths were recorded within 24 hours.
That comes from the RKI figures from Tuesday morning.
Exactly one week ago, the RKI had recorded 9549 new infections and 180 new deaths within one day.
The RKI points out that in many places fewer tests are usually carried out and reported around the Easter holidays.
In addition, it could be that not all health authorities and responsible state authorities transmit to the RKI every day.
The reported number of cases is therefore likely to be lower and only have limited informative value.
According to the RKI, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants reported within seven days was
123.0
nationwide on Tuesday morning
.
The day before, the RKI gave this seven-day incidence as 128.0, three weeks ago as 83.7.

The RKI has counted
2,900,768
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
2,597,100
.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to
77,103
.
According to the RKI management report on Monday
afternoon, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
0.90
(previous day: 0.97).
This means that 100 infected people infect 90 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.
Five Bavarian municipalities are allowed to relax, Munich pulls the emergency brake
After the Easter holidays, the incidence values of several municipalities in Bavaria have been
below 100
for three days in a row
- affected cities and districts are therefore allowed to release the so-called Corona emergency brake.
These include the districts of Weilheim-Schongau, Starnberg, Rosenheim, Erlangen-Höchstadt and the city of Coburg.
The Bavaria-wide incidence is
128.9
.
However, the RKI points out that the number of infections on public holidays may be reported with a delay by the health authorities and that fewer people may also be tested.

In the city of Munich, for example, the emergency brake came into force on Easter Sunday, which is why museums and the Hellabrunn Zoo had to close and the nightly curfew was between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
But because the incidence value was below 100 again between Saturday and Monday, the tightened measures will be relaxed again from Wednesday.
According to the RKI, four federal states are below the incidence value of 100 on Tuesday. Schleswig-Holstein has the lowest value with 66.6.
It is followed by Saarland with 85.7, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with 94.3 and Lower Saxony with 95.7.
Number of corona intensive care patients at the highest level for two months
There was an increase in corona intensive care patients over the Easter holidays.
According to the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI), the number rose significantly on Tuesday.
It is now
4340
after 4152 the day before.
That is the highest number since the beginning of February.
Almost
55 percent
of Covid patients in intensive care units are ventilated invasively.

At the beginning of January, the number of Covid intensive care patients peaked with more than 5500 cases.
When the second wave subsided, this number fell significantly; at the beginning of March there were fewer than 3000 patients.
With the increasing number of new infections in the third wave, the number of intensive care patients is now increasing again.
This happens with a delay, also because some time elapses between an infection and being admitted to the hospital.
Coronavirus worldwide
China
reported the largest increase in new corona infections in more than two months within 24 hours.
32
other confirmed cases have occurred, 15 of them in Yunnan province, which can be traced back to a cluster in the city of Ruili on the border with Myanmar, the national health commission said on Monday.
The number of new asymptomatic cases that China does not classify as confirmed cases is given as 18.
According to official figures, the total number of confirmed cases in mainland China rose to 90,305, while the number of deaths remained unchanged at 4,636.
India is
reacting to a new wave of corona with curfews and lockdowns.
The South Asian country reported
96,982
new infections with the
corona virus
within one day
on Tuesday
, as the "Indian Express" reported.
On Sunday there were over 100,000 new infections in 24 hours, the highest number since the beginning of the pandemic over a year ago.
The state of Maharashtra with the metropolis of Mumbai is particularly affected, and recorded more than half of the new infections reported.
India expanded its vaccination campaign on Thursday, and anyone aged 45 and over is allowed to be vaccinated.
However, the campaign is currently still well behind the government's goal of vaccinating 300 million of the country's more than 1.3 billion inhabitants by the summer.
Around 75 million doses have been administered since vaccination started in January.
In
Russia
, the health authorities report
8,646
new infections within 24 hours.
This increases the number of proven cases of infection to a total of almost 4.59 million.
343 people died from the virus in one day.
According to the government's Corona working group, the number of deaths will rise to 100,717.
The statistics office Rosstat, which carries out its own survey, named a much higher number on Friday with more than 225,000 deaths between April 2020 and February 2021.
Authorities said the Rosstat data is more comprehensive because it also includes cases from autopsy reports that are not available for daily record of deaths.
