Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The number of corona infections within seven days has increased significantly in Baden-Württemberg, according to the state health office on Thursday (as of 4 p.m.).
According to the data from the Stuttgart authority, the health authorities in the southwest registered 109.3 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants over the past seven days.
The seven-day incidence was 101.1 on Wednesday and 116.8 on Monday.
The reason for the short decline is likely to have been fewer tests over the Easter holidays.
28 of the 44 urban and rural districts exceed the threshold of 100. The value is highest in the district of Schwäbisch Hall with 236.8, and lowest in the city of Freiburg with 54.9.
The number of confirmed cases since the beginning of the pandemic rose by 3,661 to 380,772. 8,868 people died of an infection with or related to the coronavirus.
That was 37 more than the day before.
An estimated 340,004 infected people are considered recovered (plus 2,132).

Since the end of December, 42 728 cases with indications of "worrying variants" have been sent to the State Health Office.
Viruses with mutations that have a higher risk of infection, such as those discovered in Great Britain (B.1.1.7) and South Africa (B1.351), are considered to be such.
According to the information, their share in the southwest is now 90 percent.
1,453,918 people in Baden-Württemberg were vaccinated against the virus for the first time.
That was 27 111 more than according to data from the previous day.
A second vaccination, which is necessary for some vaccines, was given to 610,306 people (plus 13,988).
According to the announcement, only 9.5 percent of the 2,422 operable intensive care beds are currently free.
This value is important to be able to assess the utilization of the health system.
Such beds are not only needed for Covid 19 patients with severe courses, but also for other serious illnesses.
