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.
