Dresden (dpa / sn) - The number of daily new corona infections continues to decline in Saxony.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the number of new infections reported per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days on Friday was 134. On Thursday, the incidence was 140.1.
This means that Saxony is still the most severely affected state after Thuringia (148).
Nationwide, the incidence value on Friday fell below the threshold of 100 for the first time in a long time - the new infection rate was 97.
The situation is still different within the Free State, even if the number of infections is falling everywhere.
As the first city, Leipzig (68.3) has been able to relax since Friday and open outdoor restaurants, holiday apartments and camping sites.
Dresden - currently with an incidence of 87.3 according to the RKI - can hope for easing from the middle of next week.
The district of Northern Saxony was also below the critical 100 limit on Friday.
With incidence values above 200, the Ore Mountains and the Central Saxony district are particularly affected.
