Berlin (dpa) - The German health authorities reported 11,369 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day.

Exactly one week ago, the RKI had recorded 12,802 new infections and 891 new deaths within 24 hours.
The high of 1,244 new deaths was reached on Thursday.
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.

With the current figures, it should be noted that the data may contain late registrations - on the previous day, some federal states had only transmitted incomplete or not at all their data.
The RKI wrote in its management report from Monday evening: «No data were transmitted from Rhineland-Palatinate yesterday.
Data was transmitted from Bavaria and the Saarland, but the data was not received in full at the RKI. "
The number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) was 131.5 on Tuesday morning, according to the RKI.
Its previous high was reached on December 22nd at 197.6.
The number fluctuated after that and has been falling again for a few days.
However, the differences between the federal states are currently enormous: Thuringia has the highest incidences with 256.3 and Saxony with 225.7.
Bremen has the lowest value with 83.2.
The RKI has counted 2,052,028 proven infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher since many infections are not recognized.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 47,622.
The RKI stated the number of people recovered to be around 1,716,200.

According to the RKI management report, the nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.89 (previous day: 0.93).
This means that 100 infected people infect 89 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.
