Berlin (dpa / bb) - The seven-day incidence has continued to rise in Berlin and has reached a value of 94.8.
That emerges from the situation report of the Senate Department for Health on Wednesday.
In the past week, the value of the seven-day incidence was sometimes below 60. On Tuesday, the value was 91.3 infections per 100,000 inhabitants within one week.
Berlin is thus approaching the critical value of 100. The easing that has recently been in force could soon be called into question again.
On March 3, the federal and state governments agreed on a kind of emergency brake if the incidence in a federal state or region exceeds the mark of 100 on three consecutive days.
The Corona traffic light has been showing red twice since Tuesday: on the one hand, the value for the seven-day incidence, and on the other hand, the information on the number of reproductions.
This is 1.22.
This means that 100 infected people infect 122 other people on average.
The pandemic will only be slowed if this value is well below 1 in the long term.
If the value is above 1 for several days, the traffic light turns red. "Today we see the exponential increase in new infections," wrote Berlin Health Senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD) on Twitter.
The last time the value was below 1 on Saturday.

Within 24 hours, the health authorities reported 630 new infections (Wednesday of the previous week: 489) and 9 further deaths (Wednesday of the previous week: 16).
More than 456,000 people have been vaccinated at least once since the end of December.
A total of 2,956 deaths related to the virus have been recorded in Berlin since the start of the Corona crisis.
The total number of registered infections in the city is 136,409, the number of unreported cases should be significantly higher.
127,490 people are considered recovered.
