The nationwide seven-day incidence has again increased slightly.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week on Wednesday morning as 1734.2.
For comparison: the day before the value was 1733.4.
A week ago, the nationwide incidence was 1607.1.
The health authorities in Germany reported 283,732 new corona infections to the RKI within one day.
This is evident from numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 5 a.m.
A week ago there were 262,593 infections.
Experts assume a high number of cases that are not recorded in the RKI data.
One reason is the limited capacity of health authorities, for example, and contacts are often only tracked to a limited extent.
According to the new information, 329 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours.
A week ago there were 269 deaths.
The RKI has counted 19,278,143 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections go undetected.
