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). With Thuringia, Saxony and Baden-Württemberg, only three federal states are above the critical mark of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.
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.
The number of people vaccinated against the virus has reached a new milestone.
More than
30 million people
have now received at least one vaccination.

tested positive for the corona virus within 24 hours.

However, the national statistical office, which itself collects data, has already recorded around 250,000 deaths from April 2020 to March 2021.
According to the authorities, the Bureau of Statistics is more comprehensive because it includes cases from autopsy reports that are not available for the daily record of deaths.
In the
United States
, health officials recorded at least 42,061 new infections within 24 hours.
That gives a Reuters count on Saturday based on official data.
In total, more than 32.97 million people have been proven to be infected with the coronavirus.
