According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was
164.0
nationwide on Friday morning
.
The day before, the RKI had given this seven-day incidence as 161.1.
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
3,245,253
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
2,865,000
. The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to
81,158
.
The nationwide
seven-day R-value
was 1.08 according to the RKI situation report from Friday evening (previous day: 1.01).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 108 more people.
The R-value represents the occurrence of the infection eight 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.
