Berlin (dpa / bb) - Despite the lockdown, the number of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants is moving upwards in Berlin within a week.

As can be seen in the management report of the Senate Department for Health on Monday, the so-called seven-day incidence was 66.3 (previous day: 65.5).

The Corona warning traffic light continues to show clearly red for this criterion. It would only jump to yellow from a value of 30, to green from 20. In Berlin, the Neukölln district (85.2) has the highest incidence;

before middle with 78.5.

The lowest value is found in Spandau with 50.2.

The number of new infections every day across Berlin has also risen to 242, the day before it was 103. However, there is usually less testing on Sunday, and the health authorities do not report their complete data.

For weeks now, the more contagious mutant B.1.1.7, which is considered to be a great risk for loosening, has been increasingly found in Berlin's laboratories.

According to the health administration from the previous week, the proportion of the variant discovered in Great Britain was recently around 25 percent, and a further increase is expected.

More recent numbers from the current week were not known.

According to the management report, 129 599 people in Berlin have been shown to have been infected since the beginning of the pandemic.

Of them, 121 539 are considered recovered.

A total of 2,825 people died in connection with a coronavirus infection, that is 7 more deaths compared to the previous day.

The Berlin Corona traffic light shows yellow for the proportion of intensive care beds occupied by Covid 19 patients.

It fell again slightly - from 17.4 to the current 16.9 percent.

The traffic light jumps to red here at a value of 25 percent.

The corona traffic light shows green only for the reproduction number.

The value of 1.04, which indicates how many others an infected person infects on average, must, however, remain well below 1 in order for the pandemic to be slowed down.
