The RKI has counted 3,381,597 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 2,995,200.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 82,850.
The nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
0.92
(previous day: 0.90)
according to the RKI management report on Thursday evening
.
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 92 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.

Brazil
has exceeded the mark of 400,000 corona deaths. Since the pandemic began, 401,186 people have died in connection with Covid-19, according to data from the Ministry of Health in Brasília on Thursday evening (local time). Only in the USA have more deaths been registered than in Brazil. After the United States and India, the largest and most populous country in Latin America also has the most infections with 14,590,678 cases. Only around 35 days ago, Brazil passed the 300,000 corona death mark, with the number of deaths among the 20 to 39-year-olds increasing in particular.
Right-wing populist President Jair Bolsonaro played down the corona virus from the start, and he continues to reject protective measures and restrictions - for economic reasons. Meanwhile, Bolsonaro also doubts the point of vaccinations. A parliamentary committee of inquiry began work on Tuesday to shed light on the president's actions and omissions in the runaway pandemic in Brazil. Bolsonaro is accused, among other things, of having rejected and kidnapped possible deliveries of corona vaccines and of embezzling federal funds in the fight against pandemics.
