Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The corona incidence values in Baden-Württemberg continue to fall: on Wednesday only five urban and rural districts were above the value of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within the past seven days.
The city of Pforzheim had slipped below the threshold with a value of 97.7 compared to the previous day.
The district of Tuttlingen (100.9) and the Alb-Donau district (106.1) were within reach, as can be seen from figures from the state health office (as of 4:00 p.m.).
The values were only higher in the district of Waldshut (112.9), the Ortenau district (119.3) and the city of Heilbronn (155.6).
Four districts are even below a seven-day incidence of 35, especially the Emmendingen district with a value of 22.8.
Nationwide, the key figure relevant for easing and lockdown decisions fell to 66.9 after 70.2 the previous day.
The number of confirmed corona infections since the beginning of the pandemic rose by 1,359 to 296,641, and the number of deaths related to the virus by 46 to 7,256. An estimated 264,446 people have recovered.
537 cases with virus variants have so far been reported in Baden-Württemberg, as the authority in Stuttgart announced.
The background to this is that these virus changes are currently being searched for more specifically.
At the beginning of next week there should be an official overview of the actual spread of these mutations in Germany.
