Hanover (dpa / lni) - In Lower Saxony there are two more districts above the 7-day value of more than 200 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, which is considered particularly critical.
Both in Uelzen (233.8) and in Nienburg (208.4), however, the values fell somewhat on Wednesday, as data from the State Health Office showed.
Nationwide, the 7-day value was 76.6 and thus still far from the 50 mark, which is considered important for contact tracking.
According to the Lower Saxony draft of a step-by-step plan, a number of easing measures should take effect in the future, for tourism and retail, for example.
The total number of detected infections in the country rose by 1,086 to 144,390 cases.
That is a little less than on Wednesday a week ago, when 1170 cases were added.
The number of those who died with or from Corona rose by 51 to 3398 people.

In the vaccination campaign against Covid-19, the Robert Koch Institute recorded 3,415 further vaccinations in Lower Saxony.
A total of around 220,000 vaccinations have been injected in the country so far, including around 61,000 second vaccinations for the best possible protection.
In a comparison of the federal states, Lower Saxony is at the bottom of the table in terms of vaccination progress, but is catching up with daily vaccinations.
The number of reproductions, the so-called R value, was given by the Ministry of Health the day before with reference to the Robert Koch Institute for Lower Saxony as 0.94.
This means that statistically one infected person infects less than one other person.
