Berlin (dpa) - The German health authorities reported 12,802 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day.
In addition, 891 new deaths were recorded within 24 hours, as the RKI announced in the morning.
The high of 1,188 new deaths was reached on Friday.
Among the new infections registered within 24 hours, the highest value was reported on December 18, at 33,777 - but this included 3500 late reports.
Basically, the interpretation of the data is currently difficult because around Christmas and the turn of the year corona cases were discovered, recorded and transmitted with a delay according to the RKI.
«In the last few days the number of cases has risen again.
Whether this trend will continue beyond the expected follow-up tests and late registrations will only be seen in the course of the next few days, ”the RKI announced at the weekend.

The number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) reported to the health authorities within seven days was 164.5 on Tuesday morning.
Its previous high was reached on December 22nd at 197.6.
The differences between the federal states, however, are enormous: Saxony had the highest incidences with 341.9 and Thuringia with 325.7.
Bremen had the lowest value with 86.3.
Because of the holidays around the turn of the year, the weekly values should also be assessed with caution.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted 1,933,826 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany (as of January 12th, 00.00 a.m.).
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 41,577.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 1,570,000.
According to the RKI report on Monday, the nationwide seven-day R-value was 1.14 (previous day: 1.18).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 114 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.
