The high of 1,244 newly reported deaths was reached on January 14th.
In the case of new infections registered within 24 hours, the highest value was reached on December 18 with 33,777 - but it contained 3500 late reports.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted 2,402,818 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher since many infections are not detected.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 2,217,700.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 68,740.
The nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.98 (previous day 1.05) according to the RKI management report from Tuesday evening.
This means that 100 infected people infect 98 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.
