After a value of 142.6 on Wednesday, it was 146.4 on Thursday, according to the Ministry of Health.
Almost all districts and the cities of Cottbus, Brandenburg an der Havel and Frankfurt (Oder) are above the 100 mark on three consecutive days. Then the so-called emergency brake applies.
In Potsdam, the seven-day incidence was from 98.2 on Wednesday to 113.7 on Thursday.

Brandenburg is implementing the 100 series emergency brake at district level.
Counties should take further action if the seven-day incidence is persistently well above 100.
