The seven-day incidence has risen again.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Monday morning, it was 56.4 - the previous day the value was 54.5, a week ago it was 36.2.

The health authorities in Germany reported 3,668 new corona infections to the RKI within one day.

This is evident from the figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:30 a.m.

A week ago, the value for Germany was 2126 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 to a greater extent.

According to the new information, four deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.

There were also four deaths a week ago.

The RKI has counted 3,871,865 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 those who had recovered at 3,702,100.

The number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,980.

In order to increase the vaccination rate in Germany, the German Medical Association is calling for sports clubs and religious communities to be more closely involved. "We should also get sports clubs, cultural associations and the various religious institutions on board for the vaccination campaign," says medical president Klaus Reinhardt to the newspapers of the Funke media group (Monday editions). “Sufficient vaccine, personnel and logistics are available. Now creative ideas are needed. ”For those who might have postponed going to the doctor or the vaccination center for mundane reasons, such uncomplicated vaccination offers could help.
