The health authorities in Germany

reported

11,907 new

corona infections to

the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day

.

According to the RKI, 60 new deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.

Subsequent changes or additions to the RKI are possible.

On Mondays, the number of cases reported by the RKI is usually lower, among other things because fewer tests are carried out on the weekend.

On Monday a week ago, the RKI reported 11,437 new corona infections and 92 new deaths within one day.

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

169.3

nationwide on Monday morning

.

On Sunday the RKI had given this seven-day incidence as 165.6, on Monday of last week it was 165.3.

The RKI has counted

3,299,325

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

2,910,100

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

81,624

.

The nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

1.08

according to the RKI situation report from Sunday afternoon

(previous day: 1.09).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 108 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.

In Germany, more than

25 million vaccine doses

have now been

administered.

As the RKI announced on Monday, the number exceeded this mark over the weekend and was

25.45 million

.

According to current RKI figures, almost 19.5 million people nationwide received at least one vaccination by Monday.

On Saturday and Sunday, a total of 610,000 corona vaccinations were administered in Germany.

The

Netherlands

want to loosen the contact restrictions next week despite persistently high infection rates. April

28th

Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced that the night curfews, which have been in effect for three months, are to be lifted. Restaurants and bars are allowed to host guests in the outdoor areas. Dutch doctors fear the emergency in hospitals. If the number of infections does not go down quickly, then “Code Schwarz” threatens next week, said the chairman of the Association of Intensive Care Physicians, Diederik Gommers, on the radio on Friday. In the case of “Code Schwarz”, a triage commission in hospitals has to decide which patients are still to be helped. Several hospitals in the country are so overcrowded with Covid patients that the limits of their performance have been reached, said Gommers.

In view of the heavily used intensive care units,

Belgium

asked Germany to admit corona patients.

This was reported by the Belgian news agency Belga, citing the head of medical emergency aid, Marcel Van der Auwera.

Some hospital locations no longer have intensive care beds available.

According to official information, there have been almost

450

corona cases per 100,000 inhabitants

in Belgium in the past 14 days

.

This is a slight decrease compared to the previous weeks, but at the same time the number of deaths rose - also only slightly - to an average of just under 40 per day.

Around 11.5 million people live in Belgium.

Coronavirus worldwide

India

reported a global high for the fifth day in a row with 352,991 new corona infections on Monday. In addition, the number of deaths related to the virus rose within 24 hours from 2,812 to a total of 195,123 - more than ever in the South Asian country, as the Ministry of Health in New Delhi announced. With more than 17 million confirmed infections, India has the second most infections worldwide after the USA. In India with its around 1.35 billion inhabitants, the second corona wave is becoming ever larger. Many clinics are overloaded and the oxygen for treating Covid 19 patients is running out. Several countries have offered assistance to India.

In

Brazil

, the number of monthly corona deaths reached a new high in April.

In the current month, 67,977 people have already died as a result of a corona infection, as the Brazilian Ministry of Health announced on Saturday.

In the whole of March there had been 66,573 corona deaths.

In the previous 24 hours alone, 3076 deaths had been reported, the ministry said.

The average number of victims over the past seven days is therefore 2545 corona deaths daily.

The number of new infections every day was more than 60,000 in the past two weeks, and 71,137 new infections were registered on Saturday.

Since the pandemic began, there have been more than 380,000 corona deaths in South America's most populous country.

Only the USA has more victims to complain about.

In relation to the population, Brazil has the highest corona death rate in America as well as in the southern hemisphere.

According to experts, the curves of the number of infections and deaths in the country of 212 million people are now stabilizing.

More than five million people in the

US

- or nearly 8 percent of those who received a first dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines - missed their second dose.

This is shown by the latest data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as the New York Times reported on Sunday.

The reasons why Americans do not notice their second vaccination vary: In interviews, some said they feared the side effects. Others said they felt they would be adequately protected with a single vaccination. However, a number of vaccine providers have also canceled their second dose appointments because they ran out of supplies or did not have the right brand in stock.
