The health authorities in Germany
reported
9,677 new
corona infections to
the
Robert Koch Institute
(RKI) within one day
.
In addition,
298
new deaths were recorded
within 24 hours
.
That comes from the numbers of the RKI from Wednesday morning.
Exactly one week ago, the RKI had recorded 17,051 new infections and 249 new deaths within one day.
According to RKI assumptions, slightly fewer tests are currently being carried out than before the holidays due to vacation and closed practices.
The RKI assumes that the test frequency will only return to a level comparable to the previous weeks after the Easter holidays, i.e. after the coming weekend in most federal states.
According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was
110.1
nationwide on Wednesday morning
.
The day before, the RKI gave this seven-day incidence as 123.0.

The RKI has counted
2,910,445
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
2,614,500
.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to
77,401
.
The nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
0.81
(previous day: 0.90)
according to the RKI situation report from Tuesday evening
.
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 81 more people.
A lowering of the R value could also be related to the Easter holidays, writes the RKI.
"The values can only be evaluated in a few days."

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 has increased significantly.
According to information from Wednesday, it is now
4439
to
4355
the day before.
That is the highest number since the beginning of February.
Almost
56 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 in Europe
Poland
extends its corona restrictions until April 18.
The situation in the hospitals is still very difficult, said Health Minister Adam Niedzielski on Wednesday in Warsaw.
This applies above all to the Silesia region.
According to the ministry, around
34,700
Covid patients
are currently being
treated in the clinics across the country - more than ever since the beginning of the pandemic.
More than
3,300
of them have to be artificially ventilated.
Schools and kindergartens remain closed, and hairdressers and cosmetic studios are also not allowed to open.
The neighboring country is currently struggling with the third wave of the corona pandemic.
In the past week, the number of new infections
every day
reached
the record
high
of
35,251
.
On Wednesday, the Ministry of Health reported
14,910
new infections within 24 hours, and
638
people died in connection with the virus over
the same period
.
Niedzielski said that this decline is not sufficient evidence to ease the restrictions.
Coronavirus worldwide

The
Iran
has almost on Wednesday
21,000
reported infections with the coronavirus, reaching the second day in a row a record.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health said another
193
people had died of Covid-19, bringing the total number of officially confirmed fatalities to
63,699
.
The country is now in its fourth wave.
Previously, millions of people had celebrated the Persian New Year with their relatives and were away for the two-week vacation, although the government had strongly advised against it.
At the same time, the vaccinations are not making any progress.
According to the World Health Organization, only a good
200,000
vaccine doses have been administered
in Iran with its 84 million inhabitants
.
For the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic,
more than 4,000 deaths from Covid-19 have been recorded within one day
in
Brazil
.
As the Ministry of Health in Brasília announced on Tuesday (local time), 4,195 more people across the country died in connection with the corona virus within 24 hours.
The number of corona deaths in the country as a whole increased to almost 337,000.
The Brazilian health system is suffering massively from the current wave of infections.
In 18 of the 27 states, according to the Fiocruz Health Institute, more than 90 percent of the intensive care units are occupied.
In almost all of the others, the intensive care units are used at more than 80 percent.
Experts attribute the dramatic infection situation in part to the corona variant P1.
