The RKI has counted
3,451,550
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
3,084,700
.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to
83,876
.
According to the RKI situation report from Tuesday evening, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 82 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.
