Munich (dpa / lby) - More than half of the districts and independent cities in Bavaria have fallen below the important corona incidence value of 50.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), 51 of the 96 districts and cities had fewer than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week on Saturday.
Of these, 27 are even below the 35 mark.
However, the upward gap is very wide: with the districts of Tirschenreuth (value 345) and Wunsiedel (313) on the Czech border, Bavaria has the nationwide front runners in terms of incidence figures.
According to the RKI, Schweinfurt currently has the lowest value with a value of 11.
The number 50 is significant in pandemic management.
If the value is lower, it can be assumed that the fight against the pandemic is still under control.
The federal and state governments have made it clear that further easing steps beyond the cautious opening of schools should only take place when a seven-day incidence of 35 is reached.
However, the lower the values drop in many places, the louder the call for relaxation.
