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

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.

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.
Despite concerns about the high number of infections,
Austria has
announced that
its corona restrictions will be relaxed
on May 19
.
The government announced that it is planned that restaurants, hotels and theaters will be allowed to open their doors again for the first time in more than five months.
The night curfew is also to be lifted, with a maximum of four adults being allowed to meet between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, says Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.

The health system in
Pakistan
is increasingly overloaded due to the increasing number of corona diseases. On Saturday, the country's health authorities reported a record number of
157
corona deaths within one day. At the same time, 4682 patients were treated in intensive care units - that is also a record number. As in neighboring India, oxygen for ventilation is becoming scarce in the clinics. In view of the 216 million inhabitants, the numbers appear low in an international comparison. "The actual number of coronavirus-related deaths is higher than reported," said Qaiser Sajjad, Secretary General of the Pakistani Doctors' Association, to the German Press Agency.
