The health authorities in Germany

reported

21,683 new corona infections to

the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day

.

In addition,

342 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 9,677 new infections and 298 deaths within one day.

The data reflect the status of the RKI dashboard from 05:03 a.m., subsequent changes or additions to the RKI are possible.

According to the RKI, the

number of

new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants

was

153.2

nationwide on Wednesday

morning

.

The day before, the RKI gave this seven-day incidence as 140.9; a week ago it was 110.1.

The assessment of the infection rate is still difficult due to the recent holidays and the Easter holidays.

“We'll probably have to wait until the end of this week to see realistic figures again,” said virologist Christian Drosten from the Berlin Charite on Tuesday in the “Coronavirus Update” podcast at NDR-Info.

The RKI has counted 3,044,016 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 2,718,700.

The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 79,088.

According to the RKI situation report on Tuesday, the

nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

1.08

(previous day: 1.09).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 108 more people.

The RKI writes that the R value has continued to rise.

The drop in value observed in the days after Easter could have been due to the temporarily lower number of tests.

According to the RKI, the R-value can only be meaningfully assessed again in a few days.
