Berlin (dpa) - The number of corona deaths reported to the Robert Koch Institute has reached a peak.
Within a day, the German health authorities reported 1244 new deaths, as shown by the RKI numbers from Thursday morning.
In addition, 25,164 new infections were reported.
The previous high of 1188 deaths was reached on January 8th.
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 still somewhat difficult at the moment, because according to the RKI, corona cases were discovered, recorded and transmitted with a delay around the turn of the year.

The number of new infections reported to the health authorities within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) was 151.2 on Thursday morning.
Its previous high was reached on December 22nd at 197.6.
However, the differences between the federal states are currently enormous: Thuringia has the highest incidences with 310.4 and Saxony with 292.4.
Bremen has the lowest value with 84.0.
In the past few days, the number of new infections registered has risen again, according to the RKI situation report on Wednesday evening.
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.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted 1,978,590 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany (as of January 14, 00:00).
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 43,881.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 1,620,200.

According to the RKI report on Wednesday, the nationwide seven-day R value was 1.02 (previous day: 1.07).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 102 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.
