The nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

0.90

according to the RKI status report from Wednesday evening

(previous day: 0.93). This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 90 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.

After a short interlude,

Thuringia

is again the number 1 corona hotspot among the federal states. The Berlin Robert Koch Institute reported on Wednesday an incidence value of 221 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days for Thuringia. The Free State ranks again before Saxony, which had an incidence value of 210. At the beginning of the week, both federal states had swapped places. Overall, however, the seven-day incidence has decreased in 13 of 16 federal states compared to the previous week.
