Berlin (dpa) - The German health authorities have reported 22,924 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within 24 hours.
In addition, 553 new deaths were recorded, as the RKI announced in the morning.
It is difficult to interpret the data at the moment because fewer people are likely to be tested during the holidays and around the turn of the year and not all offices may transmit their data.
According to the RKI, this can lead to late registrations.
A week ago, 25,533 new corona infections and 412 deaths were registered within 24 hours.
The high of 1129 new deaths was reached on Wednesday (December 30th).
The number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) reported to the health authorities within seven days was 141.9 on Friday morning.
Its previous high was reached on December 22nd at 197.6.
The differences between the federal states are enormous, however: Saxony had the highest incidences on Thursday with 334.5 and Thuringia with 256.3.
Schleswig-Holstein had the lowest value with 76.4.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted 1,742,661 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany (as of 01.01., 00.00 a.m.).
The total number of people who died with or with the involvement of a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 33,624. The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 1,350,800.
According to the RKI report on Thursday, the nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.80 (Tuesday: 0.68).
This R value means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 80 more people.
The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.
If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
In its report, however, the RKI emphasizes that at the turn of the year, corona cases are only displayed, recorded and transmitted with a delay, “so that the R value may also be underestimated”.
