The RKI has counted 2,328,447 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic (as of February 13, 00:00).
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher since many infections are not detected.
The RKI stated the number of people recovered to be around 2,112,000.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 64,742.
According to the RKI management report on Friday evening, the nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.87 (previous day 0.85).
This means that 100 infected people infect a further 87 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.
