The seven-day incidence has skyrocketed again.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) this Friday morning, it is now 8.6.
The previous day the value was 8.0 and before that it was 7.1.
At the latest low on July 6, there were still 4.9 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days.
The health authorities in Germany reported 1,456 new corona infections to the RKI within one day.
For comparison: a week ago the value was 949 infections.
The incidence has so far been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the federal emergency brake that expired at the end of June.
In the future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken into account more strongly.
18 new deaths
According to the new information, 18 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.
A week ago there were 49 dead.
The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with the Sars-CoV-2 virus rose to 91,337.
The RKI has counted 3,741,781 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 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 people recovered as 3,638,200.
The number of reproductions, which is decisive for the speed of spread of the coronavirus, has also increased dramatically. According to RKI data, the so-called R value was from Thursday to 1.33 (previous day 1.18) and has been above the value of 1 for around ten days. The number means that 100 infected people infect 133 other people. If the value is consistently above 1, the number of cases increases. If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection rate subsides. The R-value was previously well below 1 for around two months.
