The health authorities in Germany

reported

7,894 new

corona infections to

the

Robert Koch Institute

(RKI) within one day

.

For comparison: on Saturday a week ago, the value was 15,685.

According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was

87.3

nationwide on Saturday morning

(previous day: 96.5; previous week: 121.5).

Due to the public holiday on May 13th, when interpreting the number of cases, it should be noted that fewer people see a doctor on public holidays and bridge days, which means that fewer samples are taken and fewer laboratory tests are carried out, according to the RKI's management report on Friday evening.

"This means that fewer pathogens are reported to the responsible health authorities."

According to the information,

177

new deaths were recorded across

Germany within 24 hours

.

A week ago there were 238 dead.

The RKI has counted

3,584,934

detected infections with Sars-CoV-2

since the beginning of the pandemic

. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, however, since many infections are not recognized. The RKI

stated the

number of

those who had recovered

at

3,275,500

. The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to

86,025

.

According to the RKI management report on Friday, the

nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

0.87

(previous day: 0.87).

This means that 100 infected people infect a further 87 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.

In Germany, more people were vaccinated against the corona virus on Wednesday than ever before.
