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.
