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.
Since the beginning: 2.6 million detected infections
The RKI has counted 2,594,764 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 nationwide seven-day R-value was 1.06 according to the RKI management report from Tuesday evening (previous day 1.15).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 106 more 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.
