Among the new infections registered within 24 hours, the highest value was reached on December 18 with 33,777 - but it contained 3500 late reports.

Over 2 million proven corona infections

The RKI has counted 2,471,942 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic.

The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.

The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 2,283,400.

The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 71,240.

According to the RKI management report on Wednesday, the nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.93 (previous day 0.94).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 93 other people.

The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.

If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides;

if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.
