According to the RKI, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants reported within seven days was

160.1

nationwide on Tuesday morning

.

The day before, the RKI had given this seven-day incidence as 162.4.

According to the RKI, the seven-day incidence of the past few days cannot yet be used to estimate whether the rising trend of the past week will continue.

The RKI has counted

3,188,192

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

2,824,100

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

80,634

.

The nationwide seven-day R-value was

95

according to the RKI situation report from Tuesday evening

(previous day: 1.06).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 95 more people.

The R-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.

The number of Covid 19 patients in

intensive care units

in Germany has almost reached the 5000 mark.

According to the Divi intensive care register, a total of 4949 seriously ill corona patients were treated in German hospitals on Tuesday.

The last time there was such utilization of intensive capacities was in mid-January.

The President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and Emergency Medicine (Divi), Gernot Marx, called the situation in the intensive care units “still particularly tense”.

New, often very young Covid 19 patients in their thirties or forties have to be admitted every day.

The pressure is great because other emergencies and operations also have to be taken care of.

The

Turkey

has reported the highest number of deaths on one day in connection with Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic.

The Ministry of Health announced on Monday that 341 people had died from or with Covid-19 within 24 hours.

This increased the total number of fatalities to 36,267.

Coronavirus worldwide

Within a week, more new corona infections were reported worldwide than ever before.

There were 5.2 million new cases, the eighth consecutive weekly increase, World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in Geneva.

The number of reported deaths rose on a weekly basis for the fifth consecutive year.

"It took nine months to get a million deaths, four months to get to two million, and three months to get to three million," said Tedros.

The experts are particularly concerned about the increase in corona infections and hospital admissions among 25 to 59-year-olds.

This is possibly due to the more contagious variants and the fact that there is more social contact in these age groups, according to Tedros.
